Supplementing with vitamin D can often produce improvements in mood in those with SAD in as little as a week. - _Bone Health_ as Vitamin D plays a key role in the regulation of calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood by promoting absorption in the intestines and calcium re-absorption in the kidneys. This leads to normal calcification of the bone matrix, needed for bone growth and repair. - _Immune Health_ as Vitamin D plays a role in the immune system by virtue of the fact that it promotes the process of phagocytosis (where immune cells engulf bacteria etc.), anti-tumour activity and a modulating effect on the immune system. What Is MAGNIFOOD? Each Terranova nutritional product is enhanced with its own synergistic complex of botanicals and phytonutrient-rich foods, called Magnifood. Magnifood ingredients are combined in a manner which enhances the body\'s biochemical environment in order to maximise the potential benefits of the product\'s vitamins, minerals and/or other nutrients. Many of the plants used in Magnifood are fresh freeze dried. Research shows that fresh freeze drying has the unique ability to retain a plant\'s enzymes, and is shown to be superior to other drying methods in terms of activity, stability, solubility and preservation of a plant\'s original fresh chemistry (as it was when the plant was harvested). MAGNIFOOD Advantages: - Enhancing absorption, bioavailability, utilisation, activity, stability, function and effect of the product\'s nutrients. - Providing synergistic enzymes and co-factors crucial to the utilisation and functions of the product\'s nutrients. - Providing a vast array of phytonutrients that enhance the potential functions and/or applications of the product. - Providing ingredients which enhance the overall content of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients in the product. - Protecting ingredients from oxidative damage, helping to support the stability and activity of the product\'s nutrients.
