Vitamin D Micro-Tabs, 1000 IU 100 tablets, From Dr. Weil

• Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is often referred to as the sunshine vitamin because it is formed in the body by the action of the sun's ultraviolet rays on the skin.
• Vitamin D plays a pivotal role in nutrition by facilitating the absorption of calcium, thereby helping to support healthy and strong bones. It also is an important nutrient for promoting bone mineralization in concert with a number of other vitamins, minerals, and hormones.
• Many people do not produce enough vitamin D nor do they get enough from food. Vitamin D deficiency can especially be a problem for older people, those who are homebound or bed-ridden, or people who may not be exposed to sunshine on a regular basis.
• 'We all need this fat-soluble vitamin to absorb and use calcium properly. Your body produces vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. Yet, research shows that many people(especially seniors and dark-skinned people) are deficient in vitamin D, so I encourage everyone to supplement.' - Andrew Weil, M.D.
