Peak Vitamin D

What is Vitamin D and why do you need a supplementation?

Vitamins and minerals are so-called micronutrients, which, unlike macronutrients (fat, carbohydrates, protein), cannot be used as energy, but are building blocks of the body. Vitamins and minerals act as regulators in the body, so they are involved in many vital processes. For example, vitamin D cannot be produced by our body, but since its role is essential, we need to get it through our diet.

Vitamin D dissolves in fat and oil and can be stored in the body. Your body naturally produces vitamin D when your skin is exposed to sunlight for a longer period of time. During winter, or if you spend most of your time in the office or at home, you might be at risk of deficiency.

How to obtain the optimal level of vitamin D?

Since it is almost impossible to get enough vitamin D from diet alone (though you can find it in fatty fish, egg yolks and fortified dairy products), it is essential to use a nutritional supplement to get your proper daily dose.

What are the benefits of consuming Peak Vitamin D?

- Vitamin D is a vital substance that also functions as a prohormone in the body. The synthesis of vitamin A begins when our skin is exposed to the sun. Therefore, especially in winter, when the number of sunny hours is generally low, vitamin D levels are dropping in most of the people. 

- Vitamin D is also essential for strong bones: it promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the gut.

- Among others, Vitamin D seems to be useful in decreasing the chance of developing heart diseases, reducing the likelihood of getting cold or the flu, and can even help you fight depression!

- Studies have shown that vitamin D had combined with Calcium had an appetite-suppressing effect.
