Natural Vitamin D…Sunshine

For an excellent vitamin D in the D3 form which is most absorbable

A research letter published in the October 26, 2009 issue of the American Medical Association Journal Archives of Internal Medicine revealed that treatment with 50,000 international units (IU) of vitamin D per week was safe and effective over an 8 week period, and could also be safe to use every other week as maintenance.

In their introduction to the article, the authors, from Boston University School of Medicine, note that “The worldwide prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is striking, and more than 40 percent of the population may be vitamin D deficient. Despite this, to our knowledge, there are no long-term studies of the safety and efficacy of giving pharmacologic doses of vitamin D (50,000 IU of ergocalciferol) to treat and prevent vitamin D deficiency.”

Editor’s Note: A wide range of research studies are showing vitamin D to be one of the supernutrients that has a wide range of benefits including helping build bone, preventing cancer, strengthening the immune system, insulin secretion, blood pressure regulation, reducing the risk of macular degeneration and even some autoimmune problems.
