Good for the Immune System
BIOBENE® VITAMIN D Vegan is a valuable dietary supplement developed by experts.
Vitamin D contributes to the function and
maintenance of the immune system,
as well as to the maintenance of normal bones,
the maintenance of normal muscle function,
and
the maintenance of normal teeth.
100% PLANT-BASED VITAMIN D STRENGTHENS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM Research findings confirm:
The
function of the immune system is linked to vitamin D supply. The human body can produce vitamin D through the skin with sufficient sun
exposure. However, from October to March, the sunlight hours in European countries (Northern Hemisphere) are not sufficient for this. The
body's own vitamin D synthesis is almost impossible – leading to vitamin D deficiency.
VITAMIN D SUPPORTS VITALITY AND A STRONG IMMUNE SYSTEM
Vitamin D plays a crucial role in supporting and maintaining normal bones, normal muscle function, and the maintenance of normal teeth.
It regulates calcium and phosphate metabolism, thereby promoting bone mineralization and hardening. Furthermore, it is involved in many
metabolic processes in the body (such as muscle metabolism and infection defense).
BIOBENE® VITAMIN D Vegan is a valuable
dietary supplement to counteract vitamin D deficiency and support the immune system. For a long time, vegan vitamin D was available only
as vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), which had to be converted by the body through a complex process. Until now, vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)
was mostly of animal origin and therefore not vegan. From now on, the proven BIOBENE® VITAMIN D Vegan comes with an improved
formula and 100% plant-based vitamin D3V®.
100% PLANT-BASED VITAMIN D3V®
BIOBENE® VITAMIN D Vegan contains purely plant-based vitamin D3, also known as D3V®, which is derived from algae. D3V® has the same
chemical structure as vitamin D3 of animal origin and stands out due to its particularly high quality, purity, and bioavailability. This
plant-based vitamin D3 can therefore be optimally absorbed by the body without prior conversion. Compared to vitamin D3 from lichen,
vitamin D3 from algae is more stable and better available.
Reference Values for VITAMIN D
Vitamin D is measured in µg (micrograms) or international units (IU). 1 µg corresponds to 40 IU, or 1 IU = 0.025 µg.
The European Food
Safety Authority (EFSA) published a new “Scientific Opinion” in 2012, stating that a daily intake of up to 100 µg is safe, which equates
to 4,000 IU for individuals aged 11 and older; for children under 11 years of age, the safe limit is 50 µg/day = 2,000 IU. U.S. studies
recommend a daily intake of 1,500 to 2,000 IU of vitamin D for adults and seniors. The German Nutrition Society (DGE) has set a new D-A-CH
reference value of 20 µg of vitamin D per day (which equals 800 IU).
The trend is clearly moving toward higher vitamin D intake
recommendations.
The special feature of BIOBENE® VITAMIN D Vegan is its purely plant-based origin of vitamin D3 –
cholecalciferol – derived from algae. Both the capsule shell and its contents contain no animal-derived ingredients, making BIOBENE®
VITAMIN D Vegan particularly suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
BIOBENE® VITAMIN D Vegan has been certified by the
Vegan Society Austria and is authorized to carry the European Vegan Label; it has also been certified by the Vegan Society,
UK.
