Vitamin D3 VESIsorb®

What Is It?

VESIsorb® Vitamin D offers a unique self-assembling nano-colloid system to enhance vitamin D absorption by promoting the ability of vitamin D to dissolve readily in an aqueous environment.*

Special Features

Enhanced Absorption Patented VESIsorb® Delivery System

• Developed by Vesifact, a Switzerland-based company dedicated to innovative technology and research

• Patented, lipid-based delivery system increases bio availability of a bioactive that is fat soluble or that has poor water solubility

• Self-assembling colloidal system forms evenly dispersed fluid droplets upon contact with water in the GI tract, each with a mean diameter of less than 100 nanometers and with the bioactive at its core

• These nanosize water-soluble droplets or micelles allow the bioactive to cross the water layer of the GI tract for absorption

• Provides extended release of the bioactive over time Uses for VESIsorb® Vitamin D Bone Health: Vitamin D promotes intestinal calcium and phosphorous absorption and reduces urinary calcium loss, essential mechanisms for maintaining proper calcium levels in the body and for healthy bone composition. Clinical studies involving vitamin D supplementation suggest the importance of vitamin D in addition to calcium for bone health. Vitamin D supplementation alone may also support bone health.*

Cardiovascular Support: Optimal vitamin D levels have been associated with cardiometabolic health, including healthy inflammatory balance, glucose metabolism, blood flow and antioxidant defense. This may be attributed to its effect on calcium metabolism or possibly by helping to maintain healthy plasma renin function. Preliminary evidence suggests that vitamin D may also play a role in maintaining healthy glucose metabolism, since vitamin D receptors are present on the islet cells of the pancreas.*

Cellular Health: Studies suggest vitamin D supports colon health by promoting healthy cellular function. Vitamin D is also believed to provide general cellular support potential, including breast and prostate cells, in part by helping to maintain healthy angiogenesis balance, supporting immune cell activity and maintaining healthy cell metabolism. Vitamin D receptors have been found on most immune cells and areas of the brain involved in memory and cognition, suggesting support for immune, nerve and cognitive function.*

What Is The Source?

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is derived from lanolin, the fat found in wool.
