Description
Vitamin D is best known for supporting calcium absorption to promote strong bones, but the benefits do not stop there. Unfortunately, about a quarter of adults are at risk for low levels.
Vitamin D is called the “sunshine vitamin” because exposure of your skin to sunlight triggers your body to make the active form, but the name is a little misleading. Unless you live in a latitude below 37 degrees – which passes through California, Missouri, and Virginia - the sun’s rays do not provide enough energy to support the process.
What about getting your vitamin D from food? You can, but you may be getting less you would expect, even with an otherwise adequate diet. Vitamin D’s best natural source is fatty fish, such as salmon and sardines. There is some in eggs, but you would have to eat about 20 eggs each day to meet your requirements! Milk is fortified with vitamin D, but cheese and yogurt may not be.

PatchAid Difference
At PatchAid, we support total health. We see the human body as the complex, interactive system that it is, with ever-changing components that affect each other. You can see this holistic philosophy reflected in our patches when you see that PatchAid patches contain more nutrients per patch than other brands.
Another PatchAid difference is the value we deliver to our customers. Our patches come with clear backing for a clear reason: it works. Other brands come with a white paper backing that can stick to the patch and damage the patch when you try to peel off the backing. Our patches come with a clear patch designed specifically to make sure every patch is usable, every time.
