Lovini Vitamin D Liposomes (30 Capsules)

【Over 70% of Hong Kong Residents are Vitamin D Deficient* | Deficiency Could Cause Severe Symptoms】

Research studies have found potential linkage with increase severity and mortality rate in Vitamin D deficient patients^{2,5,6 ,}.  According to research performed by Wang et al (2018), over 70% of Hong Kong residents aged 18-26 years are Vitamin D-deficient¹. The National Osteoporosis Society also suggested that people over 65, people who have low or no exposure to the sun, should also take a daily supplement of vitamin D ^3,4.

Therefore, it is important to get enough Vitamin D from food sources or supplements to fulfil the recommended daily intake of Vitamin D.

Several studies have also demonstrated a potential linkage between vitamin D and various respiratory illnesses, highlighting the role of vitamin D against viral infections is twofold by being able to strengthens mucosal defenses, as well as controlling the overall immune response to viral load ^2,4,5.
