Take in enough sun or drink, enough fortified milk to get the recommended daily amount, and you'll have strong bones. Take a supplement, if you want insurance. But recent studies, from around the world, have revealed that the sunshine vitamin's role in health is far more complex. More than just protecting bone, vitamin D is proving to preserve muscle strength and to give people some protection against deadly diseases including, multiple sclerosis (MS), diabetes, and even cancer.  COVERED. Outdoor activities-even reading-build vitamin D in people as long as enough of a person's skin is exposed to the sun What's now clear is that vitamin D is a potent force in regulating cell growth, immunity, and energy metabolism. The human body can generate 10,000 to 12,000 international units (IU) of vitamin D from a half-hour of summer-sun exposure. The National Academies recommend that adults, depending on their age, get from 200 to 600 IU of the vitamin each day. In practice, however, most people in the United States get a daily intake from food and sun exposure well below that recommended intake, especially during winter. People living in the United States and Europe, or farther from the equator, have trouble getting enough sun to maintain adequate blood concentrations of the vitamin. When people heed dermatologists' warnings about preventing skin cancer by limiting sun exposure and using sunscreen, they also reduce their vitamin D production. Vit D & Our Immune System The incidence of MS and other autoimmune diseases-in which a person's immune system attacks parts of his or her own body-tend to be rare near the equator, where ultraviolet light from the sun is intense and people produce abundant vitamin D. For 2 decades, scientists have known that certain immune cells in the blood possess receptors for 1,25-D, the active form of vitamin D. A cell called a killer T lymphocyte. These are the cells that launch immune attacks against material invading the body, as well as native cells that have become infected, or malignant. Killer T lymphocytes, also drive autoimmune diseases. MS, lupus, inflammatory bowel disease, and type 1 diabetes have autoimmune symptoms which diminish or disappear after animals receives either 1,25-D or chemical analogs of it. Vitamin's availability during T cell development influences how the mature cells operate. Vitamin D deficiency leads the cells to produce agents that are more reactive to other cells than are those produced when the killer T cells grow up with abundant vitamin D. Gum Disease The immune reaction, known as inflammation, can also be a leading player in gum disease and tooth loss. Low blood concentrations of vitamin D were linked to gum disease in a study of 11,200 men and women. The rate of loss in tooth-gum attachment was 25 percent higher among those participants with the least vitamin D compared to those with the most vitamin D. Double trouble Like autoimmune diseases, several cancers-though not skin cancer-become less common in populations the closer they are to the equator. Vitamin D signals colon, breast, and prostate cells to differentiate into mature forms, stop growing, and eventually succumb to programmed cell death. Vit D & Diabetes Vitamin D may play a role in the prevention of diabetes as well as the prevention of cancer. Many studies have linked vitamin D deficiency to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, which used to be called adult-onset diabetes. Vitamin D deficiency is a double jeopardy for type 2 diabetes, people on the cusp of developing the disease, vitamin deficiency might tip the balance. The Situation Today During the majority of the year, a large share of the U.S. population doesn't even come close to achieving 200 to 600 IU of vitamin D daily. That's the minimum vitamin D intake recommended in 1997 by the National Academies' Food and Nutrition Board, which sets guidelines for vitamins. However, most recent research on vitamin D suggests that many of its' health-promoting actions may require far higher doses. About The Queen Teacher-Speaker-Lifestyle Coach.

Bio-D-Mulsion has excellent absorption due to our unique emulsification process. Recent articles indicate that the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is much higher than previously recognized (more than 90% in patients with chronic pain, according to a recent study published by the Mayo Clinic), and that vitamin D supplementation is much safer than previously recognized. The recent studies by Al Faraj (2003), Vieth, Chan, and MacFarlane (2001), and Heaney et al (2003) all used daily doses of 4,000 IU per day or more with no evidence of adverse effects. Recent articles have also suggested that vitamin D may have a role in the prevention and treatment of many chronic diseases. We are clearly on the verge of a paradigm shift with regard to our understanding and clinical use of vitamin D. 400 drops per bottle, each drop supplies 400 IU of Vitamin D Serving per bottle: 750 Cost: $15.99 456-4600 call and we will reserve a bottle for you.
