Thorne

<p data-mce-fragment="1">Thorne’s D-5,000 contains 5,000 IU of high-quality vitamin D3 and is NSF Certified for Sport®. Although it is well known that direct sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D, many individuals, especially the elderly, don’t get enough vitamin D from sunlight or from their diet. Be sure you get the vitamin D your body needs with Thorne’s easily absorbed Vitamin D-5,000.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Benefits of Thorne’s Vitamin D-5000: </strong></p> <ul data-mce-fragment="1"> <li data-mce-fragment="1">Supports healthy teeth and bones*</li> <li data-mce-fragment="1">Promotes lean muscle mass and helps maintain muscle strength*</li> <li data-mce-fragment="1">Enhances the absorption and retention of calcium*</li> <li data-mce-fragment="1">Supports healthy brain function*</li> <li data-mce-fragment="1">Promotes cardiovascular health and immune function*</li> <li data-mce-fragment="1">Formulated with vitamin D3, a more potent and better absorbed form than vitamin D2</li> <li data-mce-fragment="1">Thorne’s vitamin D contains no lactose and no preservatives like BHT, BHA, sodium benzoate, and sorbic acid</li> </ul> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">You could be at a higher risk of a vitamin D deficiency if you:</strong></p> <ul data-mce-fragment="1"> <li data-mce-fragment="1">Rarely go outdoors, live in the northern latitudes, or have a darker skin tone</li> <li data-mce-fragment="1">Have limited sun exposure due to your occupation, clothing choices, or engage in indoor athletics rather than outdoor sports</li> <li data-mce-fragment="1">Regularly wear sunscreen with an SPF greater than 8</li> <li data-mce-fragment="1">Are an older adult (the risk of a deficiency increases with age beginning at age 50)</li> <li data-mce-fragment="1">Have a chronic health condition, such as a bowel disease or a surgical procedure (like gastric bypass) that decreases fat absorption</li> <li data-mce-fragment="1">Are obese</li> </ul> <p data-mce-fragment="1">The optimal amount of vitamin D for an individual depends on many factors and varies from person to person.
