Now available extra strength 1000iu vitamin D in emulsified liquid for enhanced absorbtion.
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.
Vitamin D has a well-established role in calcium homeostasis and the maintenance of healthy bone.
Recent articles have suggested that vitamin D may have a role in the prevention and treatment of many other chronic diseases. We are clearly on the verge of a paradigm shift with regard to our understanding and clinical use of vitamin D.
Read the recent research published in the GLOBE AND MAIL.
While we are all familiar with the importance of vitamin D in calcium absorption and bone metabolism, many doctors and patients are not aware of the recent research on vitamin D and the widening range of therapeutic applications available for cholecalciferol, which can be classified as both a vitamin and a steroid hormone. Additionally, while it was commonly assumed that the upper limit of toxicity was approximately 1,000 IU per day, we now know that the physiologic requirement of vitamin D may be as high as 4,000 IU per day, which is approximately half of the 10,000 IU that can be produced endogenously with full-body sun exposure.
Why emulsification?
Our vitamin D is micro-emulsified to enhance absorption. Independent clinical experience suggests that our micro-emulsion form of vitamin D provides significant improvements in serum levels of 25-OH-vitamin D following supplementation. This is particularly important for those with malabsorption conditions. With an increased knowledge of the importance of maintaining adequate Vitamin D levels, many clinicians recommend supplementation and annual screening for 25-OH-Vitamin D levels, especially for patients at risk for deficiency.
