Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. OrthoVitaal's Vitamin D products contain the most active form of Vitamin D, namely Vitamin D3. To produce Vitamin D in the skin, sunlight is needed. Vitamin D supplementation is recommended by the Health Council for young children, the elderly, people with darker skin, and pregnant women.

Vitamin D has many scientifically proven functions in the human body. For instance, Vitamin D is known to support our immune system and is important for normal muscle function. It also plays a role in bone formation and the cell division process. In growing children, Vitamin D ensures that calcium and phosphorus from food are deposited in the bones and teeth. Furthermore, Vitamin D helps to reduce the risk of falls, related to postural instability and muscle weakness. Falling is a risk factor for bone fractures in men and women aged 60 and over.
