Did you know that more than four in 10 adults in the U.S. are deficient in Vitamin D? There a few reasons why so many kids and adults are Vitamin D deficient. One of the primary culprits is lack of sufficient exposure to sunlight. In fact, the EPA reports that the average American spends 93% of their life indoors! And when we're outside, we oftentimes use sunblock or wear protective clothing. With sunlight being the best source of Vitamin D, it's no wonder so many people are coming up short in this critical area.

Why Does Vitamin D Deficiency Matter?

Vitamin D plays a critical role in many of the body’s essential functions, including support for cellular health and our immune system. Insufficient levels of Vitamin D can result in frequent sickness and infection, fatigue, pain, bone and hair loss, and slow-healing wounds. Additionally, further studies indicate that Vitamin D plays an important role in supporting brain health and wellness. Recent studies have demonstrated a relationship between Vitamin D deficiency and cognitive decline as well as other brain health issues.

Liquid Vitamin D-3 can be taken by kids and adults. A liquid version may be easier to digest and a better option for individuals with low stomach acid. Also, liquid versions of supplements may be more bioavailable than capsules for some people. Take the droplets directly or add to food or beverage.
