Most people can not get enough vitamin D from sunlight or food. Therefore, doctors assume that new products, enriched with vitamin, for example bread, prepared with the addition of yeast with high levels of vitamin D, can fill this gap.

The lack of vitamin D is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, cancer, allergies and bone problems in children and other conditions. American doctors say that dairy products do not provide the body with enough of this important substance. It's even harder for us to get a vitamin from its main source - sunlight, especially in winter.

Purdue University biologists conducted laboratory experiments with rats and recorded that bread baked with the addition of high levels of vitamin helps to provide the body with a useful substance. Yeast produce one of the forms of a vitamin called D2, which was considered not as biologically active as the D3 form from sunlight. However, it has been proven that bread with vitamin D2 supplements is as beneficial to health as the form of vitamin D3.
