Vitamin d

Vitamin D2, or ergocalciferol, is produced from fungal or yeast sterols exposed to ultraviolet light. The body converts it through liver and kidney pathways into active vitamin D metabolites.

• Scientific identity: Vitamin D; molecule: Ergocalciferol, vitamin D2.
• How it works: Derived from fungal sterols: Ultraviolet treatment of ergosterol from yeast or fungi produces ergocalciferol, vitamin D2. Absorbed with dietary fat: Being fat-soluble, uptake improves markedly when it is taken with a meal containing fat.
• Primary function: It supports normal calcium absorption, bone maintenance, muscle function and immune activity.
• What it supports: Vitamin D supports calcium absorption, resilient bones and healthy muscle function through a vegetarian-suitable vitamin D source.
• Important consideration: Its nutritional contribution depends on the amount provided and overall dietary intake.

CARPEDIEM selected Vitamin D for a clearly defined role within a thoughtfully balanced formulation.

• Formulation purpose: It supports normal calcium absorption, bone maintenance, muscle function and immune activity.
• Used in: CARPEDIEM MultiMen, CARPEDIEM MultiWomen and CARPEDIEM Family Daily Essentials Pack.
• Works alongside: Vitamin D contributes its own defined scientific role within the complete formulation.
• Meaningful contribution: Vitamin D supports calcium absorption, resilient bones and healthy muscle function through a vegetarian-suitable vitamin D source. Contributes to healthy bones, teeth and the maintenance of skeletal mineral balance.
• Quality and scientific context: Its nutritional contribution depends on the amount provided and overall dietary intake. 1 ingredient-specific study is included because the research reports a relevant benefit.
