- Science facts
Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin that supports the growth and development of bones and teeth. It also plays an essential role in the functioning of the muscles and boosting energy levels in the body.
The body naturally produces Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, and you can also receive Vitamin D from some foods like oily fish. In the winter months, especially in colder regions, the body doesn’t produce as much Vitamin D, leading to ‘seasonal depression.’*

Vitamin D for Cholesterol
Vitamin D supplementation may be useful in hypercholesterolemia patients with vitamin D insufficiency who are at high risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Vitamin D for Infections
A study showed that vitamin D supplementation was safe and protected against acute respiratory tract infection overall. Patients who were very vitamin D deficient, and those not receiving bolus doses experienced the most benefit.
Vitamin D for Mood
Results of a self-report measure showed that vitamin D3 significantly enhanced positive affect and there was some evidence of a reduction in negative affect when dealing with seasonality.
Vitamin D for Blood Pressure
Observational studies report higher blood pressure (BP) among individuals with lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration.
