With shorter days and decreased sunlight in autumn and winter, the body’s production of vitamin D3 decreases significantly. Because this vitamin is critical to our immune system, bone health, and overall well-being, a deficiency can be especially noticeable during these months. A targeted intake of vitamin D3 can help compensate for the deficit and optimally support the body even in the dark season.
What is vitamin D3?
Vitamin D3 is actually not a vitamin at all because, strictly speaking, it is a hormone that our body needs for vital functions. It is mainly produced in our skin with the help of the sun, but then it must be brought into the body in an active form in order to function. There is also vitamin D2, which can only be produced by plants, fungi and yeasts.
Why the body needs vitamin D3
What is best known is that we need vitamin D3 for healthy, strong bones. Without this vitamin, the body cannot properly absorb calcium and phosphate in the intestine. These are incorporated into our bones with the help of vitamin D3 for mineralization. The body also needs vitamin D3 to form bone stem cells. It is also necessary for our immune system and various metabolic processes. There is now also evidence that vitamin D3 is important for a healthy psyche.

Harvest, roast and enjoy beechnuts properly in NovemberVitamin D3 intake
If we stay in the sun in summer, our body can produce vitamin D3 through the skin through UV-B rays, so about 80-90% of vitamin D3 is absorbed. To produce enough vitamin D3 from the sun, we should be in the sun for 20 minutes a day, with at least 40% of the skin surface exposed to sunlight, depending on skin type and time of year, and this is best done in the midday sun. However, our clothing usually prevents this and a high sun protection factor also reduces the synthesis of vitamin D3. [1] Von October Until around March we cannot produce any vitamin D3 due to the low position of the sun in our latitudes. Expert opinions vary widely regarding the recommended intake amount. In this case it may make sense to check and monitor the level of vitamin D3 in the blood before supplementation. During intake it is therefore recommended to determine the vitamin D3 level by means of a blood test once a year. This does not cost much and can be done by a doctor or alternative practitioner.
Vitamin D3 via food supplements
When incorporating a vitamin D3 supplement into your health regimen, especially through dietary supplements, it is important to recognize the necessity of specific cofactors. These are other essential minerals or trace elements required to ensure that vitamin D3 is properly absorbed by the body and effectively carries out its various physiological roles. For optimal results, it may be beneficial to take vitamin D3 in combination with vitamins K2 and A, as all three work synergistically in calcium metabolism. Vitamin D3 and vitamin A contribute to the formation of specialized messenger substances responsible for transporting calcium to the bones and teeth, facilitating the proper integration of this mineral. Meanwhile, vitamin K2 plays a crucial role in activating these messenger substances after their production, ensuring that calcium binds efficiently to them, allowing for its safe and effective transportation and incorporation into the skeletal structure.
In summary, we can say that vitamin D3 is important for the normal absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus and contributes to normal calcium levels in the blood. This means that the so-called “sunshine vitamin” can support the maintenance of healthy teeth and bones, as well as the healthy function of our immune system. Together, vitamin K2 can support the maintenance of healthy bones and may also play an important role in healthy blood clotting.
The role of vitamin A
Vitamin A plays an important role in iron metabolism and may be important, among other things, for maintaining healthy skin and mucous membranes. This vitamin also plays an important role for our eyes, as it can support the maintenance of healthy vision. Like vitamin D3, this vitamin is also important for the healthy functioning of the immune system. It must be said that before taking such a preparation you should consult your doctor or therapist, since vitamin K, for example, can play a role in blood clotting. This must be taken into consideration when taking anticoagulants or if you suffer from haemophilia. Today there are many vitamin D3 preparations on the market and even in this case it is particularly important to pay attention to the quality and composition of the product, especially with regard to the cofactors presented above. That’s why we would now like to present you with a product that we can recommend with a clear conscience.
