When we initially started, we aimed to bring awareness and provide effective solutions to our community’s most common vitamin deficiencies, Like iron and vitamin D.

Black women need more vitamin D because their skin produces less of it in response to sunlight than other groups. This is because the melanin pigment in darker skin absorbs more UV radiation.

Additionally, black women may be more likely to live in areas with limited access to sunlight, such as in urban environments or in areas with long, cold winters. 

Dietary intake of vitamin D is another factor that contributes to vitamin D deficiency in black women. Few foods naturally contain vitamin D, and those that do, such as fatty fish and fortified dairy products, may not be commonly consumed in black communities. This can lead to inadequate dietary vitamin D intake, further exacerbating the risk of deficiency.

Thankfully, with the help of these gummies, you get the same vitamin D that our bodies produce from sunlight (D3). You get the daily recommended 2000IU without being under the sun for 5-6 hours a day. 

Unlike Over-the-counter vitamin D, these have more nutrients per serving, and better absorption and digestion. Because they taste great, you’re more likely to be consistent.

Our vitamins are free of artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, synthetic colors, dairy, and high fructose corn syrup.

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disorder characterized by the rapid buildup of skin cells. It causes cells to accumulate on the surface of the skin, leading to thick, red patches with silvery scales. This condition is not contagious and can vary in severity, from mild localized patches to more extensive coverage across the body.

Psoriasis can affect various parts of the body, including the elbows, knees, scalp, face, palms, and feet. It can also impact nails, causing changes in their appearance. The severity of psoriasis varies from person to person, and it can have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life due to its physical symptoms, such as itching, pain, and discomfort, as well as potential emotional and social challenges.

While there’s a clear connection between Vitamin D3 deficiency and psoriasis, it’s important to note that not all cases of psoriasis are directly caused by Vitamin D deficiency. Other genetic, environmental, and immunological factors also contribute to the development and progression of psoriasis. If you suspect you have psoriasis or a Vitamin D deficiency, it’s recommended to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management.
