Sunlight is the most important source of vitamin D. Moreover, dietary intake of vitamin D is often insufficient to prevent a deficiency, especially when there is insufficient exposure to UV radiation from the sun. That is why most people, especially during the winter months, and especially in the Northern Hemisphere, have a vitamin D deficiency, and this of course also applies to athletes.

Since vitamin D plays an important role in the body's absorption of calcium, muscle contractions and immunity, a vitamin D deficiency can cause several health problems, including an increased risk of bone fractures, chronic musculoskeletal pain, and viral respiratory infections. In addition, scientific studies have shown that correcting a vitamin D deficiency in athletes can improve (explosive) strength, reaction time and balance, and thus improve sports performance. Athletes are therefore advised to carefully monitor their vitamin D status through regular measurements of 25-OH-D (vitamin D3) in the blood.

The dosage required to achieve the optimal blood value depends from person to person and the living conditions in which this person finds himself or herself. Depending on the situation, the "desired" dosage consists of a minimum of 1,000 IU per day up to 10,000 IU per day if a shortage must be remedied in the short term. There is also scientific consensus that a dose of 1,500 to 2,000 IU per day is sufficient to achieve and maintain the ideal blood value in the long term, even in case of insufficient sun exposure. Since the 6d VITAMIN D3 DROPS contains 1000 IU vitamin D per drop, the athlete can measure his/her "ideal" dosage based on the doctor's advice.

6d VITAMIN D3 DROPS only supplies cholecalciferol, or vitamin D3, as this form is superior to the less active ergocalciferol (vitamin D2). To guarantee stability and ensure good absorption, MCT fats were chosen as a carrier, supplemented with cherry oil for a pleasant cherry taste.

In short, The 6d VITAMIN D3 DROPS is the ideal supplement for athletes who have insufficient sun exposure and/or often suffer from a vitamin D deficiency, especially in winter, and especially for indoor athletes.
