Vitamin D3, and its many benefits
A new dawn has risen for the once neglected sunshine vitamin. Vitamin D has received widespread news media coverage due to its many health benefits recently coming to light. Studies have shown that adequate levels of vitamin D supports healthy immune function, can improve your immune system, help increase bone mineral density, and prevent or even reverse heart disease.

Forms of Vitamin D
Vitamin D is one of the fat soluble vitamins along with E, A, and K. It is also known as a prohormone because of its role in forming calcitriol, the hormone responsible for calcium absorption and utilization. Vitamin D2 was discovered in 1936 and is synthesized in plants while vitamin D3 was produced a few years later and is the form found in humans.

Are we getting enough of the sunshine vitamin?
Getting enough vitamin D is a challenge especially in northern climates. Evolution has given us the ability to produce vitamin D naturally within our body. It can be made just under your skin with proper exposure to sunlight. Adequate amounts of vitamin D3 can be made in the skin after only ten to fifteen minutes of sun exposure at least two times per week to the face, arms, hands, or back without sunscreen, however, season, geographic latitude, time of day, cloud cover, skin cover, skin colour, smog, and sunscreen affect UV ray absorption and vitamin D synthesis. For example, sunlight exposure from November through February in Toronto is insufficient to produce significant vitamin D synthesis in the skin. The UV rating must be above 3 for sunlight to be effective in producing vitamin D in our skin.

You are what you absorb!
Platinum Naturals' Vitamin D3 is suspended in a medium chain triglycerides (MCT), a form of fatty acid derived from coconut oil that increases passive absorption of fat soluble nutrients such as vitamin D. MCT's help to usher vitamin D directly into our portal blood stream for fast and effective results.

OST maximizes the absorption of the nutrients in Platinum Naturals' Vitamin D3 by suspending them in omega oils for faster and more complete absorption.

What is OST
OST is the award winning Omega Suspension Technology, which is a proprietary process that fully suspends all the active ingredients in omega oils. Therefore, 100% of the active ingredients are in complete solution, and ready to be absorbed by the body. OST was developed to ensure the effectiveness of products through improved absorption, guaranteed potency, and better compliance.

OST improves absorption
The oil in your favourite salad dressing does more than add flavour. It also helps your body absorb the salad's nutrients. That's because oil is easily absorbed by the cell walls in your body. In fact, a recent study found that substantially greater absorption of carotenoid, your body's main source of vitamin A, was observed when salads were consumed with full-fat salad dressings than with fat-free dressings.

Just as the oil in full-fat salad dressings increase absorption of carotenoid, our award-winning Omega Suspension Technology (OST) maximizes the absorption of the vitamins in your body, based on a unique process that protects the purity of the vitamins while it works with your body's natural processes to make them readily available where they are needed most.

OST suspends vitamin nutrients in omega oils to allow faster, more complete absorption and ensure that every nutrient is preserved and protected until it goes to work in your body, strengthening the cells that support your lifestyle. As the omega oil passes through cell walls, vitamin nutrients are absorbed quickly and easily.
