Vitamin D deficiency is remarkably common, affecting an estimated one billion people worldwide. Limited sun exposure, indoor lifestyles, sunscreen use, northern latitudes, and darker skin pigmentation all contribute to inadequate vitamin D production. Blood testing frequently reveals suboptimal levels even in people who believe they get adequate sun exposure, making supplementation a practical necessity for many adults.

The 5000 IU dose in this formula reflects current research suggesting that many adults need higher amounts than the traditional recommendations to achieve and maintain optimal blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D. While individual needs vary, this dose is commonly recommended by healthcare practitioners for adults with documented vitamin D insufficiency or those at higher risk of deficiency.

Vitamin D3 supports health through numerous mechanisms. It is critical for intestinal calcium absorption and bone mineralization. It modulates both innate and adaptive immune responses. Research has also associated adequate vitamin D levels with support for cardiovascular health, healthy mood, cognitive function, and healthy cell division.

Life Extension Vitamin D3 5000 IU is ideal for adults with limited sun exposure, those living in northern climates, individuals with documented low vitamin D blood levels, and anyone who wants to ensure they are meeting their body substantial vitamin D requirements for optimal health across multiple body systems.
