Two types of vitamin D
Vitamin D has two variants: ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). Ergocalciferol is absorbed less efficiently by the body. Therefore, vitamin D3 is always preferred. This product contains only cholecalciferol, also known as vitamin D3, because this form is considered superior to the less active ergocalciferol (vitamin D2).
The 3000 IU formula is the latest formula of vitamin D3 and ensures maximum effectiveness: You will take in, absorb, and process enough vitamin D with just 1 pearl per day.
What to expect of vitamin D?
Since vitamin D plays a crucial role in calcium absorption, muscle contractions, and immunity, a deficiency can lead to various health problems, including an increased risk of bone fractures, chronic musculoskeletal pain, and viral respiratory infections.
Moreover, scientific studies have shown that correcting a vitamin D deficiency in athletes can promote (explosive) strength, reaction time, and balance, thereby improving sports performance. Therefore, athletes are advised to carefully monitor their vitamin D status through regular measurements of 25-OH-D (vitamin D3) in the blood.
*Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function.
** Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption/use of calcium and phosphorus.
*** Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
