Stig Bengmarks food supplement with vitamin D3

A high-quality dietary supplement with vitamin D3 for maximum absorption and support for your health. Stig Bengmark’s dietary supplement is scientifically developed and contains a unique combination of vitamins D3 and K2, magnesium, and MCT oil to make sure your body is given the best conditions for absorption as well as a more comprehensive effect than from vitamin D alone.

What does Stig Bengmark’s dietary supplement with vitamin D contain and why?

Stig Bengmark’s vitamin D3 dietary supplement combines vitamin D3 with both vitamin K2 and magnesium as well as MCT oil for optimal effect and absorption.

– Vitamin D3 – There are several forms of vitamin D, D3 is the one that is formed in the skin by the sun and is found in foods such as fish, meat, eggs and fortified products. Vitamin D2, for example, is mainly found in mushrooms. The body absorbs D3 better than D2, but both can contribute toward healthy vitamin D levels if taken regularly.

– Magnesium – Magnesium acts as a vital aid to enzymes responsible for converting vitamin D. In the case of magnesium deficiency, vitamin D can end up being stored away and inactive.

– Vitamin K2 – Vitamins D3 and K2 play an important role in calcium metabolism, which in turn leads to a better bone structure where they act as an important building block in bone tissue.

– MCT fat – Vitamin K2 and D3 are water-soluble, hence the product is combined with MCT oil for optimal absorption of these vitamins.

Vitamin D contributes toward the normal function of your immune system and maintaining normal bone structure, muscle function and teeth. Vitamin K contributes toward normal blood coagulation and maintaining normal bone structure. Magnesium helps to reduce fatigue and exhaustion.

Vitamin K2 ensures that calcium is absorbed where it’s needed (in the bones) and not stored in soft tissues which can be harmful. Magnesium, on the other hand, helps to activate vitamin D in the body, making it work more efficiently. This combination is proven by research to provide the best preconditions for absorption and effect.

All essential vitamins and minerals work together and are interdependent. In order for us to be able to absorb vitamin D, we have to have sufficient levels of vitamin K2 and magnesium in our bodies. Magnesium helps with the absorption of calcium, and calcium helps bring vitamin D into the blood. Vitamin K2 also ensures that vitamin D reaches our bones. In addition, vitamin D supplements should always be taken with a source of fats, as it is fat soluble.

Can I get vitamin D in other ways?

The main source for vitamin D is the sun. But today we’re spending more and more time indoors and for many of us, it’s even difficult to stay outside long enough, especially during the winter months in the Nordics. This makes it more difficult to get sufficient vitamin D from the sun.

Apart from the sun, vitamin D can also be obtained through the diet. Foods rich in vitamin D include fatty fish such as salmon and mackerel, egg yolks, and certain fortified dairy products. However, it is difficult to get the right amount through diet alone, especially if you are on a restricted diet. Dietary supplements are a simple and effective way to ensure that you get the right levels, you should take supplements of vitamin D all year round.

What is one tablet equivalent to?

One tablet of Stig Bengmark’s vitamin D contains 3000 IU of vitamin D – this corresponds to approximately 20 minutes of exposure to sunlight under optimal conditions.

To get the equivalent amount of vitamin D from food, you would need to eat approximately the following amounts of vitamin D-rich foods:

– Salmon (100 grams) contains about 500-600 IU of vitamin D, so you would need to eat about 500-600 grams of salmon.

– Fortified milk (250 ml) contains about 100 IU, which means that you would need to drink about 7.5 litres of fortified milk.

– Eggs contain about 20 IU per egg, so to get 3000 IU of vitamin D you would need to eat about 150 eggs.

Getting vitamin D from diet alone is quite difficult, which makes a vitamin D supplement like Stig Bengmark’s vitamin D an easy way to ensure that you are getting enough.

Why do I need vitamin D?

Vitamin D plays a crucial role in maintaining strong bones and a functioning immune system. In addition, vitamin D deficiency can lead to fatigue, depression and a weakened immune system. By supplementing with our supplement, you are ensuring that you keep your levels optimal all year round, even during the dark winter months.

Vitamin D deficiency in adults can cause, among other things:

– Difficulty concentrating, moodiness and irritability

– Impaired immune system

– Brittle bones and an increased risk of fractures

– Weak muscles, aches and pains

– Pain state

Is it possible to take too much vitamin D?

It’s impossible to ingest a dangerous amount through food. But too much vitamin D in your blood can be dangerous, this can be a danger if you over-consume supplements.

EFSA, which is a governmental food control body in the EU, believes that:

– Max 100 µg (4000 IU) per day is the safe dose for an adult to ingest.

Stig Bengmark’s vitamin D contains 75 micrograms per tablet. Therefore, you should never take more than one tablet per day. The dose is based on Stig Bengmark’s recommendations (link).
