There’s a good reason why most people tend to prefer summer over the darker months of the year. You don’t realise just how much the sun brightens up your mood until winter comes around and it's dark on your way to work and even darker on your way home. But did you know that missing out on so much sunlight is proven to directly affect both your physical and mental wellness?
When our bodies are exposed to sunlight, they naturally produce Vitamin D3, an essential vitamin which boosts our mood, bone health and more. Whilst it is found in oily fishes like trout and salmon, if they’re not a massive part of your winter diet, you might struggle to get enough Vitamin D3 on those miserable greyer days. Impacting both your bone strength and your general happiness, it's important to make sure you’re getting your fix of Vitamin D3.
So what does Vitamin D3 do? Well, it is essential for supporting your body in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, strengthening your teeth, bones and joints and preventing more serious illnesses like rickets, myalgias, arthralgias and more. It does, of course, also keep our spirits high, boost our mental health and give us that push we need to smile our way through till Spring.
You can rely on Vitamin D3 to:
Vitamin D3 is the perfect vitamin to pull you out of that winter lull. Brightening your day when the sun can’t, Vitamin D3 is great for cheering you up, motivating you and getting you out of bed. Without D3, our bodies could become weak, and unstable and could even develop a range of long-term illnesses in relation to our bones, teeth, muscles and joints.
Calcium and phosphorus are integral for the strength of our joints and muscles. Without these, our bones can begin to soften and weaken, leading to a number of issues including joint and muscle pain, as well as many serious disorders. Our bodies cannot successfully process and absorb calcium or phosphorus without a healthy supply of Vitamin D3, however, making it extremely important to make sure it is included in your diet or supplemented through joint and muscle supplements.
Vitamin D3 for mood
Dull days getting you down? Makes complete sense, actually. Vitamin D3 can help to regulate your body’s melatonin and serotonin levels, which are directly linked to your mood. So next time seasonal depression is getting you down and you don’t know who to turn to, you can always lean on Vitamin D3.
Keeping both your body and your mental well-being strong is extremely important. You’re never too young to start thinking about your bone and joint strength, so why not start taking Vitamin D3 supplements now and do future you a favour?
Our range of Diso Strips has been designed by our experts to make sure that you can get the most out of your wellness supplements. These handy, high-absorbing dissolvable strips are full of Vitamin D3, so you can implement them into your daily routine and make every dull day feel as though the sun is shining.
Keeping both your mind and your bones happy, Diso’s D3 and K2 supplement makes sure that you’re body is capable of getting the most out of the calcium in your diet - because there’s no use having yoghurts with lunch and a glass of milk before bed if your body can’t even enjoy the benefits!
As with most supplements, results don’t happen overnight. The length of time it can take for you to feel the effects of your Vitamin D3 supplements can differ based on a range of factors like your size, weight, age and how much Vitamin D3 is already in your system. If you’re deficient in Vitamin D3, it can take over a month to enjoy all the benefits but if your current supply isn’t desperately low, you may begin to feel positive changes after just seven days.
We package both our Diso Strips in packs of thirty, designed to be enjoyed one at a time, over the course of the month. Dedication and commitment are important when it comes to the effects of supplements, which is why we encourage you to take one each and every day.
