Maxasorb D3 is a topical cream that is scientifically designed to deliver Vitamin D3.   Each full application, which is 2 pumps of the tube, not one, delivers 1,000 IU of Vitamin D3, which for most people is sufficient.   This also contains Vitamin E and aloe, which will help soothe and moisturize your skin.

The Sunshine Vitamin is one of the most essential vitamins that you need, but many people do not get enough of this.   Getting exposure to sunshine daily is one of the ways to nourish your body with Vitamin D, but there is the issue cancer-causing UVB rays and most people do not wish to be exposed them for an extended period of time.  Milk is treated with Vitamin D, but again, many people either do not like the taste of milk, are lactose intolerant or do not drink enough milk daily to make a huge difference. 

Why do you need Vitamin D? 

Your body must have vitamin D to absorb calcium and promote bone growth. Too little vitamin D results in soft bones in children (rickets) and fragile, misshapen bones in adults (osteomalacia). You also need vitamin D for other important body functions.

Vitamin D deficiency has now been linked to breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, heart disease, depression, weight gain, and other maladies. These studies show that people with higher levels of vitamin D have a lower risk of disease, although they do not definitively prove that lack of vitamin D causes disease — or that vitamin D supplements would lower risk.

What is the difference between Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3?

“Vitamin D” (calciferol) is considered to be a beneficial and necessary nutrient, but there is no single vitamin called “vitamin D”. What we know as vitamin D is essentially a collective term for two types of calciferol: vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D3 is made in the skin of all vertebrates when exposed to sun, while D2 is produced by invertebrates, like fungus and plants, when exposed to the sun.

Generally, the word “vitamin” refers to a substance that the human body cannot produce on its own. So even though it has always been known as a vitamin and an essential one, vitamin D3 is technically not a vitamin but a hormone.

My problem is that I don’t like milk that much ~ I use it in my coffee and if I have cereal, and I shun the sun.  I also have absorption issues,  so my levels of Vitamin D are very low and I have to take 50,000 IU weekly, which is well above the normal range.  I take pills and I supplement them with this cream.

Since Vitamin D3 helps your body absorb calcium and phosphorus, this Vitamin is very important to women to prevent osteoporosis as your bones need both of those essential minerals to keep them healthy and strong.  Vitamin D3 also helps with your heart and can prevent heart disease as well.
