Scientific Data

Our current lifestyle compromises the obtaining of an important nutrient for the absorption of calcium and, consequently, for the formation of bones and teeth, in addition to being an aid to our immune system: Vitamin D.

If we go back thousands of years, we will see that our ancestors lived more outdoors than we do. Their livelihood was based on agriculture, livestock and commerce, activities carried out mostly in open environments.

Our lifestyle has changed and, nowadays, we spend most of the day indoors. Whether it's the working hours that keep us in offices during sunlight or the prevention of diseases caused by sun exposure, we have very little contact with the sun during the week.

Our organism evolved to transform the sunlight received by the skin into vitamin D, thus contributing to the maintenance of health. The daily amount of vitamin D we need comes mainly from exposure to sunlight, around 90% of the daily requirement.

Closed inside offices, in our homes, using clothes that cover most of the skin and using sunscreen, exposure to sunlight is compromised, and as a result, the daily need for vitamin D is not met.

Scientific studies link vitamin D deficiency with diseases such as osteoporosis and rickets, due to the importance of vitamin D in calcium absorption. Autoimmune diseases are also related to vitamin D deficiency, just as anyone who has suffered a disease that affects the immune system and does not have their vitamin needs met may have more difficulties in recovery.

In addition to working preventively in various diseases, studies report benefits of vitamin D supplementation such as preventing respiratory infections and gaining muscle strength in athletes.
