The algae used is grown under controlled conditions and is approved as food and commonly used in food globally.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body, of which our bones and teeth store 99%. Vitamin D3 increases the absorption of calcium from food and reduces the excretion of calcium from the body. Since our skeleton acts as a reservoir for calcium therefore our bones become depleted if our calcium intake is insufficient.Vitamin D3 supplements can also help maintain healthy muscles and nerves, as well as a healthy immune system.What's more, studies have shown that vitamin D may stimulate the body's production of anti-viral and anti-bacterial proteins.
