Predator Nutrition : Vitamin D3 Multivitamin

Vitamin D3 is the latest Predator Nutrition branded supplement and is one we have long believed to be the first supplement we would advise to anyone commencing a health and fitness oriented program.

Wide Range of Benefits

While Vitamin C is probably the vitamin most well known to the general population, we think Vitamin D is hands down more important simply because it is much easier for someone to be deficient in this and a deficiency in this is far more noticeable since a vitamin d deficiency can manifest itself by negatively impacting health, mood, cardiovascular disease risk, fat-free mass and testosterone output to name just a few.

Why Supplementation is Essential

Uniquely among vitamins, Vitamin D can be obtained through exposure to sunlight but this is depedent upon you being exposed to sunlight and the sunlight being strong enough. Unfortunately, for people who live in Northern Europe or North America it is difficult to spend the 30 minutes or more so needed in the sun during work days and more importantly, the sunlight is usually insufficient to derive any benefit. Vitamin D is found among food as well but while you can meet the minimal level that avoids you being classed as being deficient if you eat a diet high in eggs, fish and some dairy products, being non-deficient is not the same thing as having an optimal level.

The famously sceptical nutrition blog Examine go so far as to say that if there is only one supplement people should take for their health assuming their diet is decent then it should be Vitamin D.

Dosed to Deliver Optimum Health

Our Vitamin D uses Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), a highly bioavailable form of Vitamin D and the one most researchers recommend as the best form of Vitamin D for supplementing with. Each capsule delivers 2000IU of Vitamin D, a level that is widely regarded as sufficient by most scientists although some advocate supplementing with double that dose or more to get the best benefits. We suggest that users adjust the dose based on their exposure to warm sunlight but that they supplement with 2000IU at least unless perhaps they are outdoors in hot conditions and have their skin exposed for extended periods of time.
