VISTA-D3 is used when a higher intake of vitamin D is needed, or if the body has a reduced capacity to synthesize vitamin D.
This situation can occur in the following cases:

• In women, from the start of the menopause.
• In older people, both men and women, who do not spend much time outdoors, the lack of sunlight reduces vitamin D reserves.
• In periods of strong growth, during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• During winter most people in our regions do not produce enough vitamin D due to lack of sunlight.

In short: vitamin D is essential for the majority of the population!

In our region, most studies have established that the majority of the population (both young and old!) show a marked vitamin D deficiency.

And VISTA-D3 also makes it easy for everyone to take vitamin D: from babies to the elderly!!

VISTA-D3 comes in the form of melting tablets. The big advantage of these melting tablets is that they can be taken in different ways. You can melt the tablet under the tongue (sublingual). This is the most efficient way to obtain a good absorption in all circumstances, even in persons with absorption problems, for example after gastric or intestinal surgery. In children, the tablet may be administered as a candy. The taste is very discreet and is well accepted by everyone. VISTA-D3 is also very well adapted for use in infants: the tablet dissolves in a spoonful of water or is added in the feeding bottle. Adults can also just swallow the tablet! 

Survey of recent literature on vitamin D

Vitamin D

Vitamin D3 is the natural form of vitamin D. It is produced by our skin on exposure to sunlight. Therein lies the main difference between this and all other vitamins: the main source of vitamin D is not food, but exposure to sunlight! So it is no surprise that the majority of our population has low vitamin D levels. The sun does not shine so often, and its rays are not very efficient so high above the equator. And if you then travel to a sunny country, you need to apply a good layer of sun protection cream. It is absolutely essential to protect your skin from the sun! … but at the same time, by doing so you are stopping your body from producing vitamin D.

The main role of vitamin D is to stimulate proper calcium absorption. Vitamin D is therefore vital for forming and maintaining strong bones.

However, very recent scientific research has also brought other very important effects to light. For example, vitamin D also plays a role in our body’s defence mechanisms, by protecting our resistance to both external and internal attacks.

The same research also clearly showed that these days most people in our region have a vitamin D level that is too low (suboptimal). And there is still more news coming, nearly every day!

Daily supplementation with vitamin D

All studies have clearly shown that about 2 thirds of the European population has a chronic shortage of vitamin D exhibits. And this has many negative effects on our health. Especially in the “dark” periods – autumn and winter – with little sunshine, a daily supplementation is very important.

This is even more important for the so-called “risk groups”: babies, children, pregnant women and the elderly.

In 2012 the Belgian Superior Health Council has markedly increased the daily recommended dosage. The 6 Vista-D3 products – 400, 600, 800, 1000, 2000 and 3000 – are fully in line with these new recommendations and thus ensure a correct and adequate supplementation.
