Pure Encapsulations Vitamin D3 Vitamin D3 enhances calcium absorption and retention, a key nutritional role in supporting normal bones new evidence suggests it may also have a prominent role in cellular, cardiovascular, colon and immune health. What it is best for: Vitamin D3 enhances calcium absorption and retention, a key nutritional role in supporting normal bones, and may play a potential role in cardiovascular, colon and cellular health. Vitamin D levels have been shown to decline with age, due primarily to a reduction in either absorption or metabolism by the liver. Decreased exposure to sunlight, a vegetarian diet, or a low intake of vitamin D fortified foods also play a role in inadequate vitamin D levels. Vitamin D promotes intestinal calcium and phosphorous absorption and reduces urinary calcium loss, essential mechanisms for maintaining proper calcium levels in the body and for normal bone composition.
