Vitamin D3 is formed in the skin under the influence of sunlight. In our geographical area it is possible from April to September between 10-15 at min. 15 minutes of daily exposure of at least the forearms and legs. However, if in these months there is no sun, we do not stay on it or use sunscreen creams (they can reduce the production of vitamin D3 by up to 90%), low levels of vitamin D may already have a negative impact on immunity in early autumn. During the remainder of the year, there is virtually no production of vitamin D3 in the skin. In our country, too little supply of vitamin D from the sun is common.
The ability to produce vitamin through the skin also decreases with age, which can lead to a decrease in calcium absorption, which is important for bone and muscle function (vitamin D is involved in calcium absorption). A lot more sun for the production of vitamin D3 in the skin is needed by people with breakfast and dark complexion.
Low quality and highly processed foods may not provide adequate amounts of vitamin D. And with good nutrition, foods can usually only provide about 30% of the daily requirement for this vitamin.
- Due to the above, supplementation with vitamin D3 is very important in our climate
- And this is not just about growing children and teenagers, but everyone!
MCT oil
In Dr. Jacob’s with vitamins A, D, E and K in liquid we use the MCT fatty acid fraction obtained from coconut oil. Unlike coconut oil itself, rich in saturated fatty acids, which, as a food product, are not beneficial to health, MCT medium chain fatty acids have many beneficial health and dietary properties, many of which are scientifically proven. One of them is that MCT does not adversely affect the blood lipid profile and does not increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
The use of MCT has a very beneficial effect on the durability of vitamins dissolved in this oil. Compared to other oils, MCT also has a much higher resistance to rancidity. Thanks to this vitamin Jacob’s can have a maximum shelf life (2 years) and remain fresh long from the first time the bottle is opened. MCT oil has no taste, which is important when giving vitamins to young children.
Vitamin Sun Dr. Jacobs
Only one drop of Vitamin D3 contains 800 IU. vitamin D3
It is an amount that ensures an adequate level of this vitamin even in people with a complete lack of its endogenous production
At the same time, the portion is small enough that it can be given to children and quite precisely dosed larger portions.
