THORNE Vitamin D-5000 - Support Healthy Bones, Teeth, Muscles, Cardio, Immune - NSF Sport Certified - Dairy-Free, Soy-Free - 60 Capsules

Vitamin D, essential for bone health, can only be absorbed by your body when there is sufficient vitamin D present. In addition to bones, vitamin D also supports muscles, nerves, and the immune system. Low levels of vitamin D can lead to various health risks and negative outcomes. In the United States, most dietary vitamin D is obtained from fortified foods such as breakfast cereals, milk, some yogurts, and other fortified products like orange juice, margarine, and soy beverages.

It can be challenging to get enough vitamin D, especially for those who have limited sun exposure, live in northern latitudes, have darker skin tones, or wear sunscreen regularly. Individuals with certain health conditions or older adults may also be at risk for vitamin D deficiency. If you're not getting enough vitamin D from your diet, a dietary supplement may be necessary.

Having sufficient vitamin D levels can help promote healthy bones and teeth, maintain muscle strength, support normal immune function, prevent falls in older adults, promote brain function, maintain muscle strength, and help with weight management. Taking a vitamin D supplement depends on your blood level of vitamin D; a blood test is the only way to determine your vitamin D level accurately. Your health care professional can guide you on the proper amount of vitamin D to take.

Vitamin D supplements are generally well-tolerated, but excessive intake may lead to side effects such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, and poor appetite. It's crucial to consult with your health care professional, especially if you are taking any prescription medications, as vitamin D supplements may interact with certain medications.
