VISTA-D3

 

VISTA-D3 is a vitamin D supplement.

There are 5 different doses specially adapted to all ages and situations:

  • VISTA-D3 400, for children and babies.
  • VISTA-D3 600, for adolescents and adults, also for children with higher requirements.
  • VISTA-D3 800, for adults who need a higher intake.
  • VISTA-D3 1000, for elderly people with higher requirements.
  • VISTA-D3 2000, to rapidly overcome a pronounced deficiency.

These doses correspond to the latest recommendations by the Belgian Superior Health Council.

A SPECIALLY ADAPTED DAILY DOSE TO SUIT EVERYONE:N

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. Unlike other (water-soluble) vitamins, the surplus is not simply eliminated, but instead accumulates in the fatty tissue. This can lead to overdose and to certain side effects. It is therefore better to avoid this accumulation in the body. The best way to supply our body with vitamin D is simply to take a normal (physiological) dose of this vitamin every day. The (old-fashioned) vitamin D therapy with very high doses (50 x the average recommended daily dose!) administered weekly or monthly is clearly not physiological and moreover, according to recent research, is less effective in achieving normal blood levels.

  • VISTA-D3 400 contains a physiological dose (400 international units, iu) of vitamin D3 specially adapted for babies and children.
  • VISTA-D3 600 contains a physiological dose of vitamin D3 (600 iu) specially adapted for adults, adolescents and also for children with higher requirements.
  • VISTA-D3 800 contains a physiological dose of vitamin D3 (600 iu) specially adapted for adults, adolescents and also for children with higher requirements.
  • VISTA-D3 1000 contains a physiological dose of vitamin D3 (1000 iu) specially adapted for for elderly people with higher requirements.
  • VISTA-D3 2000 contains a physiological dose of vitamin D3 (2000 iu) is being used in the beginning of the supplementation in order to rapidly overcome a pronounced deficiency.

Doctors and pharmacists can of course adjust the dosage to their patients’ specific needs.

A SMART FORM OF ADMINISTRATION!

A melting tablet that is easy to use for everyone : you can let it melt on your tongue, swallow it or dissolve it in water!

For babies: no more counting drops to a spoon or in a feeding bottle. With VISTA-D3 400 you can be sure to give the correct dose: there is no risk of administering or taking too little or too much. Dissolve the tablet in a spoonful of water and add to a feeding bottle or add the tablet directly to the feeding bottle.

For children or people who have difficulties swallowing: let the tablet melt on your tongue.

Adults can also simply swallow the tablet.

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, a vitamin D supplement is almost always needed from the start of the menopause to maintain strong bones.
  • 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.
  • And vitamin D is just about the only vitamin that cannot be obtained through your diet.

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!!

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 5 Vista-D3 products – 400, 600, 800, 1000 and 2000 – are fully in line with these new recommendations and thus ensure a correct and adequate supplementation.

VISTA-D3 400, VISTA-D3 600, VISTA-D3 800, VISTA-D3 1000 and VISTA-D3 800 are registered as dietary supplements with the Ministry of Public Health respectively under numbers: NUT1647/6, NUT1647/5, NUT1647/7, NUT1647/8 and NUT1647/9.

A dietary supplement cannot be used to replace a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the daily recommended dose. Keep out of the reach of children.
