Vitamin D3 & K2 Liquid Caps!
Many people now know that taking vitamin D3 as a dietary supplement can be useful in our latitudes. After all, according to an analysis by the Robert Koch Institute, around 62% of Germans are not sufficiently supplied with the sun vitamin. Especially in winter and spring, the percentage increases considerably. This is due to the fact that the most important source is not our food, but the body's own production. Within 5 metabolic steps, active vitamin D3, also known as 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, is thus converted from cholesterol. However, our body can only carry out one of these 5 steps with the help of sunlight, or rather the UV-B rays contained therein, whereby finished but still inactive vitamin D3 is produced in our skin as cholecalciferol from 7-dehydrocholesterol. And exactly in this step lies the crux. If there is a lack of UV-B rays on the skin or if the intensity is too low, no vitamin D can be produced. Unfortunately, in our latitudes, the intensity is only sufficient from March to October to produce enough vitamin D3. The rest of the year, we theoretically rely on our liver to have produced sufficient amounts during the summer. However, most of us spend the majority of our time indoors or in vehicles, even in the summer. Since UV-B rays do not penetrate window glass, nor walls, vitamin D is not produced during this time. Studies have established this connection very demonstratively in athletes. In it, they found that outdoor athletes, such as track and field athletes, are significantly less likely to have a vitamin D deficiency during the summer than indoor athletes, such as weightlifters or bodybuilders. Vitamin D is immensely important for our health.
