The days are starting to get a just a bit darker, earlier and earlier. Many of us dread this shift after having much fun basking in the rays of the sun. Unfortunately, many people start to feel the affects of a seasonal depression, even this early in the fall. SAD, or seasonal affective disorder, affects more than 10 million Americans. Seventy-five percent of those who suffer from SAD are women. SAD generally starts in October or November and lasts until March or April.
Now’s the time to prepare with supplementation, continuation of exercise, adequate sleep, and proper self care, including acupuncture. Element carries Metagenics D3 in a liquid and pill formulation. Vitamin D3 is an important supplement to add into your regime for overall health and wellness, affecting immune response and mood regulation. I prefer the liquid formula because the dosage is easily adjusted, it is easily absorbed, the price is reasonable, and the bottle of D3 will last quite a while. Each drop is 1000 IUs. Vitamin D3 testing is sometimes included in one’s annual blood test. Even if the test doesn’t show a deficiency, a little extra vitamin D during the seasons of less light can be beneficial. We also have it in pill form for those who prefer pills over liquid.
In the words of Metagenics:
Improve Your Health with D3 Liquid
Your body produces natural vitamin D when your skin is exposed to direct sunlight. However, many people don’t get enough sun every day, especially during the dark, cold winter months. While minimal amounts can be found in foods like salmon, vitamin D is also available in supplement form for daily use.
D3 Liquid from Metagenics is a natural dietary supplement that contains cholecalciferol vitamin D3 to help support your overall immunity and bone strength, and to support optimal overall health as well.
Product Details:
- Contains vitamin D3 solubilized in oil to support optimal absorption in your intestinal tract
- Provides the convenience of flexible dosing and is easy to use
- Promotes healthier bones, and supports optimal immune, neurological, and cardiovascular health
- Comes in a great-tasting natural mint flavor
- Completely gluten-free
It can be difficult to get kids to swallow pills, and Metagenics Liquid D3 solves that problem. This is the ideal liquid supplement for children, and delivers ease-of-use and a great taste. Every batch is made without the use of most common food allergens, and one drop can be taken up to five times every day in support of better health.
Plan ahead before the winter doldrums kick in.
