    March to better nutrition




    It's National Nutrition Month and here at Pharma Nord, we love to talk nutrition.

    Modern diets often lack vital nutrients and it can be difficult to know which vitamins and minerals our bodies need. To celebrate National Nutrition Month, here are some of our top nutrients and how they can help you.

    Bio-Vitamin D3Many people in the UK are deficient in vitamin D, the vital' sunshine ' vitamin. In fact, more than 1 billion people worldwide are estimated to have deficient levels of vitamin D due to limited sunshine exposure and we also produce less of this vitamin as we age.

    Vitamin D supports our immune system and the normal functioning of muscles. It also helps to maintain healthy teeth and bones, increasing the absorption of calcium from food. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the most easily absorbed form.

Our ability to do this decreases with age, meaning a Q10 supplement, such as Bio-Quinone Q10, could help.
