Vitamin D and Your Health
Important News about Vitamin D and Your Health Recent studies have shown that Vitamin D fights Cancer, Depression, Neurological Diseases (like Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis), Psoriasis, Osteoporosis (by assisting in bone calcium absorption), Diabetes, and Seasonal Affective Disorder. It also helps provide Pain Relief, and may even prevent Influenza! Vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin, works like a very powerful hormone in your body, and is active in quantities as small as 1/1,000,000,000,000 of a gram (that’s one trillionth). Our primary Vitamin D source is the Sun, but you don’t need direct sunlight; filtered through clouds is fine. (Caution: getting a sunburn puts you at risk for skin cancer!). You can also get Vitamin D naturally in cold-processed fish oil like Cod Liver Oil. A recommended dosage would be 1 teaspoon per 50 pounds of body weight, not to exceed 1 Tablespoon per day. Note: Always keep your oils refrigerated. Before taking high levels of Vitamin D supplementation, you should have your health care professional check your blood levels, and continue to monitor them during supplementation. A simple blood test is all it takes. There are two tests for Vitamin D. The one to ask for is "25 hydroxy Vitamin D". Natural versus Synthetic: Don’t be mislead by cheaper, less effective, synthetic Vitamins. D3 is the natural form. Vitamin D2 is synthetic. Suggested Dosage of Vitamin D in a Northern Climate is 2,000mg per day in healthy individuals (from October through April). If you take Vitamin D, you should also take a Calcium/Magnesium supplement daily. Vitamin D toxicity is rare, and has mainly occurred when using synthetic D2 in high doses. Contra-indications: You should consult a physician before use if you have kidney disease, high blood calcium levels, or if you take Digoxin or other Cardiac Glycoside drugs.
