Vitamin D plays an important role throughout life, beginning with fetal development. Thorne's D-5,000 is NSF Certified for Sport. Vitamin D supports a number of important functions in the body. In addition to supporting healthy bones and muscles, it supports cardiovascular health and immune function.
Although direct sunlight provides natural vitamin D, many individuals of all ages, especially the elderly, do not get enough vitamin D from sunlight and their diet. Vitamin D supplementation can be of great benefit in these situations. Thorne's Vitamin D-5000 contain no lactose or preservatives (BHA, BHT, sodium benzoate, etc) for individuals who are sensitive to those ingredients.
