Vitamin D: Important for bones, muscles, and the immune system.*

Vitamin D keeps the immune system functioning properly and supports the maintenance of normal bones and normal muscle function. Vitamin D is also important for cell division, the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, and thus for maintaining normal blood calcium levels.*

Are you getting enough vitamin D?

Approximately 50% of people in Germany have insufficient vitamin D levels. The body absorbs very little vitamin D from food, as few foods contain significant amounts.

Vitamin D is one of the few vitamins that the body can produce itself. It is produced in the skin when exposed to sunlight. Since we can only replenish our vitamin D stores through sun exposure during the summer months in Germany, taking vitamin D supplements is a good way to maintain optimal vitamin D levels. Spending most of our time indoors (e.g., working in an office), consciously avoiding the sun (through clothing or sunscreen), or taking certain medications can negatively impact vitamin D levels.

Furthermore, the body's ability to produce vitamin D decreases with age. Because the skin of dark-skinned people is less permeable to UV light, vitamin D production can only occur when sunlight is intense enough. In our latitudes, it is therefore difficult for people with darker skin to ensure adequate vitamin D levels solely through their own body production.

Signs of Vitamin D Deficiency

Signs of vitamin D deficiency include, for example, reduced muscle strength, muscle and joint pain, a weakened immune system, and increased susceptibility to infections.

Vitamin D Depletion

Anyone taking medication long-term should monitor their vitamin D levels. Vitamin D supplementation can improve the effectiveness of some medications or reduce their side effects (e.g., diabetes medications, blood pressure medications, cholesterol-lowering drugs, osteoporosis medications, cancer medications).

Taking certain medications (e.g., antacids, antiepileptics, antihistamines, Parkinson's medications, cancer medications) causes vitamin D to be broken down more quickly in the body. Therefore, it is particularly important to ensure adequate vitamin D levels when taking these medications.

Daily is Better Than Weekly

Regarding the effects of vitamin D on the immune system, daily intake is better than weekly. This is due to the paracrine pathway of vitamin D, in which vitamin D is utilized directly within the cells. Depending on how the "sunshine vitamin" vitamin D is metabolized, its metabolites support either bones and muscles or the immune system.* The endocrine effect via the bloodstream has a positive impact on calcium homeostasis and bone health. The paracrine effect, in which the vitamin is only activated in cell tissue, supports the immune system.*

Vitamin D3 supplements have a half-life in the body of only about 24 hours. Therefore, only daily administration ensures the paracrine effect, while the endocrine effect is covered by both daily and weekly doses. Thus, daily vitamin D supplementation is superior to weekly administration, as it covers a significantly broader physiological spectrum and supports both effects.

Vitamin D3 supplements have a half-life of approximately 24 hours in the body. Taking Vitamin D3 Hevert 4000 IU is particularly recommended.

Safe Vitamin D Dosage

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has established maximum daily intake levels of vitamin D that are considered safe: For adolescents aged 11 and older and adults, this is 4000 IU of vitamin D, and for children aged 1 to 10, it is 2000 IU. A vitamin D test performed by a doctor or pharmacist can determine your vitamin D level in your blood and establish an individual vitamin D dosage.

Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption/utilization of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D contributes to normal blood calcium levels. Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function. Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal teeth. Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system. Vitamin D has a role in cell division.
