Vitamin D is synthesized in the body from sunlight. But, due to the winter
season, weather conditions, and sunscreen blockers, the body’s ability to
produce optimal vitamin D levels may be inhibited. In fact, it has been proposed
that annual fluctuations in vitamin D levels explain the seasonality of
influenza. All of these factors point to the value of taking a daily vitamin D
supplement to ensure optimal vitamin D intake.
Vitamin D has long provided significant support for healthy bone density.
However, scientists have also validated the critical role that vitamin D plays
in regulating healthy cell division and differentiation, and its profound
effects on human immunity. These findings link a deficiency of vitamin D to a
host of common age-related problems. The current RDA is only 400 IU. As a result
of startling evidence of a widespread vitamin D deficiency, prominent
nutritional scientists are calling on Americans to increase their vitamin D
intake to 1000 IU per day and higher. Currently, most experts in the field
believe that intakes of between 1000 and 4000 IU for adults will lead to a more
healthy level of serum (OH)D, at approximately 75 nmol/L.
For those who need to take very high doses of vitamin D3 and are under a
physician’s supervision, We now make available a 5,000-IU vitamin D3 supplement.
Regular CBC/Chemistry blood tests are suggested when taking this 5,000-IU
vitamin D supplement to guard against a very low risk of kidney toxicity or
hypercalcemia (excess calcium in the blood).
