Immune system

Today we are aware of the importance of the vitamin D to fight many other diseases. Some scientists claim that vitamin D, in sufficient concentrations, protects us from flu – similar to a vaccine.
Sufficient amounts of vitamin D reduce the development of autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, Type I diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.

HEKA Vitamin D3 has become known during the COVID-19 epidemic since it has been strongly recommended for fighting the virus that causes the COVID-19 illness.

Experts say 

Many studies has proved that persons with sufficient levels of vitamin D are less likely to get certain forms of cancer, such as colorectal, breast, prostate cancer and some other types.
Vitamin D is also important cardiovascular health. It has proven to help regulate blood pressure. Nowadays there are studies to prove that vitamin D reduces depression.

GOOD TO KNOW

If we do not supplement vitamin D, we can get it from spending time in the sun; but our climate zone creates enough vitamin D only from March to October.
To get enough vitamin D, we should be in the sun three times a week, without using a sunscreen, which means we are exposed to the sun, which may cause skin diseases.

One of the options is ingesting vitamin D through our food, specifically by ingesting, for example, salmon.
Yet, the intake of salmon should be so large (a large piece of salmon every day) that we might jeopardise our health in some other way.

For adequate protection of our bones, we need 800–1.000 units of vitamin D daily, which amounts between 20–25 mcg of vitamin D.
For good collaboration of the immune system and the reduction of other diseases, we recommend the intake of 4,000 units daily.
