Benefit 14: Supports Eye Health
Vitamin D3 plays a crucial role in maintaining eye health and preventing age-related eye diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts. AMD is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults, while cataracts are a common cause of visual impairment worldwide.
Research has shown that individuals with higher vitamin D3 levels have a lower risk of developing AMD and cataracts. One of the ways vitamin D3 may support eye health is by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, which can damage the delicate tissues of the eye and contribute to the development of eye diseases.
To ensure you’re getting enough vitamin D3 to support healthy vision and eye health, make sure to get adequate sunlight exposure, consume vitamin D3-rich foods, and consider taking a supplement if necessary. (14)
