How it works:
Vitamin D is an essential micronutrient that an estimated 70% of the U.S. population is deficient in. Vitamin D helps prevent DNA damage and systemic inflammation, both of which can accelerate the aging process. This amazing Vitamin also plays a key role in the production of serotonin – a neurotransmitter that has profound effects on mood, mental health, and overall wellbeing. Our modern lifestyles have made us especially susceptible to Vitamin D deficiency as we are indoors more often, generally overweight as a population, and tend to not consume food products that contain significant amounts of this crucial micronutrient.
What the science says:
Vitamin D injections are an excellent alternative to oral supplementation and have been clinically proven to be more effective at sustaining levels of the active form of Vitamin D within the blood over a period of 12 weeks.
How to use Vitamin D3:
Vitamin D is administered via (IM) intramuscular injections.
