Product Overview

Vitamin D has gotten a lot of buzz in the news lately, however we've been tracking the multitude of health benefits associated with this amazing vitamin for almost 15 years. Vitamin D has long been known as an essential to building and maintaining strong bones and teeth. Recent research has shown that it is also instrumental in promoting a healthy immune system and overall wellness. In fact, low vitamin D levels have been associated with depression, chronic pain and even shortened lifespan.

Cholecalciferol, or vitamin D3, has been noted for its maximum absorbability in the body. That's why we chose to use cholecalciferol in our Vitamin D3 formula. Our extra strength Vitamin D3 5,000 IU formula is made even more absorbable by its liquid softgel delivery method. Beware of supplements made from the cheaper and less absorbable Vitamin D2

Vitamin D is normally obtained from the diet through fortified foods or produced by the skin when exposed to sunlight. However, it is not abundant in food. As more people avoid sun exposure, vitamin D supplementation becomes even more necessary to ensure that your body receives an adequate supply.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that can be acquired from certain foods, primarily fish and dairy products, as well as in some fortified foods. It is also formed in the skin as a result of direct exposure to sunlight. Vitamin D is required for the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus. It is a vital nutrient for bone health because the body can only absorb calcium when vitamin D is present. A severe deficiency can result in rickets in children, and osteomalacia, a similar disorder, in adults. Continuing research shows just how important vitamin D is in preventing many diseases and disorders.

Millions of Americans are deficient in vitamin D, but don't know it, says Michael F. Holick, MD, director of the Vitamin D, Skin and Bone Research Laboratory at Boston University Medical Center. This deficiency leads to many debilitating chronic diseases, he says.

Some surprising connections:

Arthritis, fibromyalgia, muscle weakness and aching bones are often signs of vitamin D deficiency, says Dr. Holick. Italian researchers found that greater intake of vitamin D was associated with a lower risk of autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, as well as a significant clinical improvement for those suffering from these diseases. (Autoimmun Rev. 2007 Nov;7(1):59-64. Epub 2007 Aug 14.)

Cancer: Consuming more than 645 IU vitamin D daily cuts risk of colon polyps. (JAMA. 2003 Dec 10;290(22):2959-67.) Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with increased risk of common cancers, such as breast, colon, lung, prostate and pancreatic cancer cells. (Am J Clin Nutr. 2008 Apr;87(4):1080S-6S.)

Heart disease: Raising vitamin D blood levels lowered blood pressure as much as medication does, Holick found. (Am J Clin Nutr. 2008 Apr;87(4):1080S-6S.) In Dutch women, taking vitamin D supplements prevented loss of elasticity in arteries. (Thromb Haemost. 2004 Feb;91(2):373-80.)

Osteoporosis: Vitamin D beat calcium in preventing bone fractures in a Harvard study. Consuming 700-800 IU of vitamin D daily (compared with 400 IU) cut women's risk of a broken hip by 26%. (JAMA. 2005 May 11;293(18):2257-64.) Calcium alone showed no protection. Vitamin D deficiency makes it difficult for the body to absorb calcium and has also been linked to reduced muscle function and increased risk of falling and broken bones. (J Bone Miner Res. 2007 Dec;22 Suppl 2:V59-63.)

Multiple sclerosis: Women who took 400 IU or more vitamin D in supplements and ate vitamin D-rich food were 50% less apt to develop multiple sclerosis, compared with women getting little vitamin D in Harvard studies. (Neurology. 2004 Jan 13;62(1):60-5.)
