Winter is in full swing and, if you live in a snowy climate, you’re likely in need of a Vitamin D supplement. In fact, at least 56% of the population is Vitamin D deficient. It would be great to work with you on a story about necessary products for making it through the winter, including Gnarly Nutrition’s Baseline Vitamin D3 supplement.
The majority of Vitamin D is synthesized in the body from exposure to sunlight. While you can also find Vitamin D in fish, dairy, and eggs, it is difficult to make up for the lack of adequate sun exposure with food alone. Taking a Vitamin D supplement is crucial for maintaining immune health, muscle strength, brain cell activity, and calcium absorption.
While most Vitamin D supplements are derived from lanolin or sheep’s wool, Gnarly’s utilizes a plant-based extract derived from lichen, allowing for a vegan-friendly Vitamin D3. Clean and hypoallergenic with 1000 IUs of cholecalciferol, the active form of Vitamin D, this is a great option for anyone looking for a Vitamin D boost this winter. All Gnarly Nutrition products contain only all-natural ingredients, so you can feel good about what you’re consuming. They are also non-GMO, gluten-free, soy-free, and NSF Content / Sport Certified (meaning they’ve gone through independent testing for label claims and contaminants).
- Vitamin D plays an integral role in immune function, protein synthesis, muscle function, cardiovascular function, inflammatory response, cell growth, and musculoskeletal regulation.
- Gnarly Baseline D3 1000 IU is a natural plant-based extract derived from lichen.
- $12.95
To truly accentuate the benefits of your Vitamin D supplement, it is worth also looking at a magnesium supplement, as it is critical in activating Vitamin D in the liver. Research has shown increased success in correcting Vitamin D deficiency when taken alongside magnesium.
- Magnesium citrate is a highly bioavailable form of magnesium that is well-absorbed by the body.
- Magnesium is involved in the synthesis of protein, fat, and nucleic acids; muscular activity; bone maintenance; and brain function.
- Magnesium plays an important role in the activation of vitamin D.
- Vitamin D deficiency is better corrected when both vitamin D and magnesium are taken together.
