Another vital supplement for individuals on not only a ketogenic diet but any diet in general is Vitamin D3. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble nutrient. It is one of the 24 micronutrients critical for human survival. The sun is the major natural source of the nutrient and that is why Vitamin D is known as the "Sunshine Vitamin".Ā
A Ketogenic diet may cause vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency can result in decreased calcium concentrations and bone density. Not many foods contain vitamin D; synthesis of vitamin D (specifically cholecalciferol) in the skin is the major natural source of the vitamin.
Vitamin D3 Supports:
Bone and Muscle Health
Immune System Health
Cardiovascular and Brain Health
The recommended form of vitamin D is vitamin D3 or cholecalciferol which is the natural form of vitamin D that the body makes from sunlight. The KetoGenicsā¢ brand contains 5,000 of Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)
