Life Extension Vitamin D3 -- Softgels

Maintaining healthy levels of vitamin D helps preserve youthful cognitive function and offers broad spectrum benefits for bone, immune system health and more. Here's why you should be making sure you get enough of this essential vitamin every day: Cognitive health Vitamin D is important for maintaining cognitive health and function as you age. Healthy serum vitamin D levels have been shown to correspond with better scores on cognitive health tests and better maintenance of cognitive ability in aging individuals. Bone and immune health Vitamin D (along with vitamin K and essential minerals) is essential for facilitating the transport of calcIUm into the bone matrix. This is an important step in maintaining strong, healthy bones and teeth. Vitamin D also plays a critical role in healthy immune function. Heart health & blood pressure support Vitamin D helps to regulate the body's calcIUm balance while facilitating calcIUm absorption into the bloodstream, promotes a healthy inflammatory response in the cardiovascular system and encourages healthy endothelial function. Vitamin D may also help inhibit excess renin levels. Healthy renin levels help maintain healthy blood pressure already within the normal range.
