Vitamin D has always played a key role in the support of healthy bones. Recently published articles such as the one in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition have shown that Vitamin D is now recognized as a major player in overall health and immune support.
Vitamin D deficiency can result from inadequate intake coupled with inadequate sunlight exposure, disorders that limit its absorption, conditions that impair conversion of vitamin D into active metabolites, such as liver or kidney disorders.
Vitamin D deficiency has also been associated with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Diabetes, Cancer (Vitamin D supplementation can reduce the occurrence of various cancers by 30-50%), Obesity, neuro-degenerative diseases, osteoporosis, depression and many others. Deficiency results in impaired bone mineralization, and leads to bone softening diseases, rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, and possibly contributes to osteoperosis.
Vitamin D3 is both a vitamin and a hormone. It acts as a vitamin when it binds with calcium for proper absorption. Humans cannot digest calcium without adequate amounts of Vitamin D3. It has long been known for its important role in regulating body levels of calcium and phosphorus, and in mineralization of bone. Vitamin D plays an important role in the maintenance of organ systems and it regulates calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood by promoting their absorption from food in the intestines, and by promoting re-absorption of calcium in the kidneys which enables normal mineralization of bone and prevents hypocalcemic tetany.
Vitamin D may play a role in the prevention and/or treatment of the following health conditions:
• Atherosclerosis
• Heart Disease
• Hypertension
• Breast cancer
• Colon cancer
• Prostate cancer
• Skin cancer
• Kidney disease
• Liver disease • Multiple sclerosis
• Muscle Weakness
• Chronic Pain
• Osteoporosis
• Osteoarthritis
• Periodontal disease
• Preeclampsia
• Psoriasis
• Tinnitus
Recommended Doses:
It is recommended that people of all ages should take 2,000 IU of vitamin D-3 per day. Studies maintain that to attain optimal blood levels to prevent bone fractures, 1,000 to 2,000 IUs of vitamin D-3 per day are necessary.
