Vitamin D3

Vitamin D is Essential for a Growing Brain & Body

  • Builds nerve cells
  • Supports nerve function and communication between brain cells
  • Influences immunity and mood
  • Regulates minerals necessary for healthy bone growth

The Vitamin D3 Your Body Makes

Vitamin D3 is the only one of the 13 vitamins that can be made by the human body, but you need enough sunlight to make it. There are two types of vitamin D: D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D3 is the type that your body makes and so we choose only vitamin D3 for our formulas.
