However, they require this essential nutrient to maintain robust bone health and a resilient immune system. The Life Extension offers a high-potency supplement designed to bridge these nutritional gaps.

Instead, they advise supplementing with vitamin D, specifically 5,000 IU to 8,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily, especially if your multivitamin already provides 1,000 to 3,000 IU of vitamin D. This vitamin D supplement offers 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol per softgel. To ensure adequate levels, it's advised to take a 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood test after three months and aim for optimal blood levels of 50 to 80 ng/ml year-round. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in cognitive health, bone and immune health, and heart health. It has been associated with better cognitive test scores and cognitive maintenance in aging individuals. Additionally, it aids in calcium transport for strong bones and teeth, supports healthy immune function, regulates calcium balance, promotes a healthy cardiovascular system, and helps maintain normal blood pressure by inhibiting excess renin levels.
