D-Pearls Pharma Nord 80 Capsules

D-Pearls are soft gelatin capsules with 38 μg vitamin D3 in each capsule. Their size makes them easy to swallow. The vitamin D is dissolved in cold-pressed olive oil, as vitamin-D is a fat-soluble vitamin. Like other vitamins, vitamin D is essential. There are several kinds of vitamin-D, but the two most important forms are D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D3 is the form that is synthesized in the skin from cholesterol when we are exposed to sufficient amounts of sunlight or a similar type of UV-radiation. Vitamin D from sunlight is an effective vitamin D source but is only produced when the sun is high in the sky. In large parts of Europe, this only happens during the summer period, and therefore we can only produce sufficient levels of the vitamin this time of year. Children and nursing home residents require more vitamin D than adults. Vitamin D has an array of important functions in the body. For instance, vitamin D is: important for normal cell division helping to maintain normal bones and teeth contributing to a normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus playing a role in the body's immune system and muscle function
