Scientific Insight

What is Vitamin D

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. MVP Biotech® produces 1,000 IU high potent Vitamin D in form of Vitamin D3. It is normally obtained from the diet or produced by the skin from the ultraviolet energy of the sun. However, it is not abundant in food. As more people avoid sun exposure, Vitamin D supplementation becomes even more necessary to ensure that your body receives an adequate supply. Lack of Vitamin D can cause several health problems.
