One of the hottest topics in health and nutrition today is vitamin D. The American Public Health Association (APHA) has been doing extensive research on this all important vitamin. The evidence of their research supports the fact that low vitamin D blood levels is being linked to many human diseases.
The APHA even goes as far as saying that "Vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency is recognized as a major public health concern for both children and adults in the
Further research reveals that albacore tuna and wild salmon rank as "the richest known sources of vitamin D." Because of this fact, Vital Choice has developed "a high-quality, higher-potency vitamin D supplement...one with unique characteristics." [1]
Are all vitamin D supplements created equal? According to Vital Choice, their vitamin D3 supplements contain "no artificial preservatives, colors, dairy, starch, wheat, or yeast."
They are also saying that "Vitamin D3 is the preferred, natural form, proven the most effective at raising and maintaining vitamin D levels in the blood."
What is the difference between vitamin D, D3, and D2? According to the Vital Choice newsletter article entitled, NEW! Vitamin D in Wild Salmon Oil, "most studies support vitamin D3 as the most effective form for raising and maintaining vitamin D levels in the blood."
"The cheaper, more common synthetic form - called vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) - does not occur in the human body naturally, nor is it found in human diets."
"Supplement makers use vitamin D2 - created by irradiating fungi - because it costs less than vitamin D3."
TriVita's VitaCal-MagD combines vitamin D with calcium and vitamin B6 to "help you maintain the strength of your skeletal system, ensure regular cellular activity, proper cardiac function, and preserve the health of other vital body systems."
There is no claim as to the information laid out by Vital Choice's newsletter with regards to their vitamin D coming from vitamin D2 in a synthetic form, or created by irradiating fungi. However, they do state that "VitaCal-Mag D is absorbable so you can get the nutrition you need for healthier bones."
I'm not sure where all this research of vitamin D is headed, but I do know how many articles I've seen lately regarding this all important, and highly disregarded vitamin. Whether all the claims are true, or not, we'll have to wait and see.
Two facts are true, 1.) vitamin D is important to a healthy body, and 2.) the human body cannot produce vitamin D. With that said, the most logical means of receiving vitamin D is through supplementation.
