Vitamin D3
Vitamin D is a nutrient that influences more than 3,000 different genes in your body and almost every type of human cell. Vitamin D3 is a more active form of Vitamin D.
Vitamin D is necessary for the proper functioning of your immune system. Science has proven that taking Vitamin D on a regular basis decreases the incidence of pneumonia and respiratory infections caused by a virus attack.
A study* showed that giving Vitamin D to COVID-19 patients reduced the likelihood of them being admitted to the ICU by 93%.
Vitamin D3 can strengthen your bones by helping your lower intestine absorb more calcium, reducing your risk of osteoporosis.
