Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that the body needs daily to support several important processes. The Nordic long, dark winters mean the body’s own vitamin D production via sunlight is often insufficient in Estonia, which is why many people use a vitamin D supplement. The Puhdas+ range offers science-based vitamin D products with various dosages, suitable for both daily support and more specific needs.

Vitamin D — the sunshine vitamin for bones and immune system

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that the body produces in the skin under the influence of sunlight. In Estonia’s climate, there is sufficient sunlight only during the summer half of the year, which is why taking vitamin D as a food supplement is particularly important during the autumn-winter period.

Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and normal muscle function. The Puhdas+ selection includes vitamin D3 in different strengths — 50 µg and stronger doses are suitable for daily consumption.

How much vitamin D should you take?

The recommended daily dose depends on individual needs, season and lifestyle. Vitamin D can be taken with fat-containing food, as it is fat-soluble and is better absorbed with fats. Vitamin D works well when taken together with vitamin K2. Explore our complete vitamin selection. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet.
