How Does Valupak Vitamin D₃ Work?

The body is unable to produce most vitamins itself, with vitamin D being one of the very few exceptions. Sunlight increases the amount of vitamin D we are able to produce, but how much is produced will depend on a person’s skin type and how much time they are exposed to the UVB rays of the sun. Without enough vitamin D, rickets and osteoporosis can occur in the worst cases.

The problem is that many people don’t get the 10 mcg (400 IUs) of daily vitamin D they need.

This may be due to:

• Low exposure to UVB in sunlight
• Dark skin
• Malabsorption of vitamin D
• Not consuming fortified foods
• Less sunshine between the months of October and March
• Cancer prevention techniques meaning we stay out of the sun much more

Taking Valupak Vitamin D₃ supplements will boost the vitamin D within the body, keeping us healthy.

Public Health England is particularly interested in ensuring more people have enough vitamin D, and it has published advice on why it is important.
