Vitamin D3 is produced in skin exposed to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Many people don’t get enough sun exposure to make this essential vitamin, so supplementation is often recommended. Vitamin D has many roles, including helping to maintain healthy bones and teeth, and it helps with the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. Preferred Nutrition Vitamin D3 1000 IU softgels help prevent vitamin D deficiency and are non-GMO and gluten-free.
