Vitamin D is a steroid vitamin, a group of fat-soluble pro-hormones that are best known for the role they play in supporting bone health and aiding in the absorption of calcium and phosphate from the gastrointestinal tract. However, a growing body of research highlights its important role in supporting other body systems, including cardiovascular and blood sugar balance as well as increasing musculoskeletal strength, neurological and immune function enabled by its ability to target over 200 different genes throughout the body. At the same time, deficiency and insufficiency of this important nutrient has reached epidemic proportions around the world, making the achievement of optimal levels extremely important to overall health.
Known as the sunshine vitamin, one of the key roles of vitamin D is maintaining serum calcium and phosphorous balance. The body makes vitamin D by converting vitamin D2 to D3, or cholecalciferol, when exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D3 is also the form which the body derives from dietary cholesterol. While vitamin D is available in both forms as supplements, studies have found vitamin D3 is the preferable form, as it has been found to maintain active vitamin D levels for a longer period of time.
The Vitamin D formula is delivered as D3 (cholecalciferol) for optimal use by the body, and is available in 1,000 and 5,000 IU capsules to meet a variety of individual needs.
Suggested Use:
1 or more capsules per day or as recommended by your health care professional

Great one stop woman wellness!
I've just started coming to this office as of February 2020 and so far I am very impressed. The staff from the front desk to the nurses to the doctors everyone you encounter is very friendly and professional . They take their time with me every time I come here , making sure to answer all my questions. I have even had two video appointments that also went very well. It shows that all the staff that works here really cares about their patients. Also I really like the electronic system they use to update patients with information. It's so nice , I just get a text notification and then I can read the summary of my doctor visit or my lab results. It's so impressive.
