ACTIVE ⎪ MODULATES ⎪FAVOURS 

Vitamin D, also known as the sunshine vitamin, is recognised by numerous studies to play a crucial role as a cofactor in multiple functions in our body.

In fact, it contributes to the absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus, promoting healthy bones and teeth. In addition, vitamin D plays a role in modulating the immune system and can help reduce the risk of certain autoimmune diseases.

There are 2 types of vitamin D:

• Endogenous vitamin D, which we produce by exposure to UVB rays for 10 to 15 minutes with our face and forearms uncovered, without sun protection, between 11am and 2pm. We only stay for 10 to 15 minutes after which we apply sun cream with an appropriate SPF. This is one of the most bioavailable (assimilable) forms of vitamin D for our bodies.
• Exogenous vitamin D, provided by the diet (oily fish) but insufficient to cover our daily needs.

We particularly recommend that women aged 35/40 and over take vitamin D supplements in autumn and winter. And to anyone who lives in regions with little sunshine or who doesn’t go out much.

What’s more, it’s one of the most important vitamins for women, especially as we age, as it contributes to good bone density and the prevention of osteoporosis, as well as good muscle function. It may also help to prevent cardiovascular disease and intellectual decline with age.

In MY Women’s Balance and MY Serenity Essentials, we have opted for the D3 form (cholecalciferol) of vitamin D, which is considered to be much more effective than the D2 form (ergocalciferol). This form is of plant origin. It comes from lichen, a symbiosis between a fungus and an alga. It is biologically active and can be effectively used by our bodies. What’s more, it’s perfectly suited to vegetarians and vegans.

As for its usefulness, it is essential for a good hormonal balance with the B group vitamins in MY Women’s Balance and in MY Serenity Essentials, it acts as a co-factor for better assimilation of magnesium.

NB: Taking MY Women’s Balance and MY Serenity Essentials is completely compatible with vitamin D supplementation, with no risk of overdosing.

ITS BENEFITS:
