Vitamin D

In an email newsletter I received from Health Resource, president Layne Lowery said, "Vitamin D deficiency can produce a whole laundry list of severe ailments including decreased bone strength... high cholesterol levels... heart trouble... memory loss... aching joints... energy drain... and mood swings, just to name a few. And if you are over the age of 50, you face a higher risk since your body can't properly absorb vitamin D from natural sunlight."

If you've read any of my previous articles regarding vitamin D and its powerful effects on the human body, you'd understand what Mr. Lowery is saying. Vitamin D has been scientifically proven to provide you with a wide variety of health benefits that last for the long term.

Do you remember you mother telling you to drink your milk, and that you need the calcium and vitamin D to build strong bone? There was a lot of wisdom in your mothers words. Hopefully you followed her recommendation. However, vitamin D is not all about healthy bones. There have been a lot of studies done on vitamin D and some of the results are mind-boggling.

In a study done by Australian scientists, they have noted that "an inverse correlation between the condition of very sick patients and their levels of vitamin D."

"In other words, the sickest patients in the intensive care unit analyzed by researchers from Sydney’s Garvan Institute of Medical Research also had the lowest levels of vitamin D. In fact, among the 42 patients studied there were three deaths, and the deceased had the lowest levels of vitamin D in the cohort." [1]

Dr. Paul Lee, one of the researchers in the study, says "vitamin D has been linked to sugar control, heart function, gut integrity, immunity and defense against infection." [1]

"Patients in ICU suffer from different degrees of inflammation, infection, heart dysfunction, diarrhea and metabolic deregulation, so vitamin D deficiency may play a role in each of these common ICU conditions," he adds. [1]

The Australian scientists that conducted this study speculate that when we are very sick, the body draws upon any vitamin D available to function properly, and so we may need extra supplementation to maintain organ function during critical illness. Furthermore, bedridden patients are at an increased risk of bone loss and osteoporosis, and nutritional supplements containing vitamin D, which is safe even at high doses and inexpensive, may be a good idea anyway, they stress. [1]

TriVita has developed VitaCal-Mag D, which provides five forms of chelated calcium, over 20 bone-fortifying vitamins and minerals, 100% RDI of Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc and Vitamin D, within Chlorophyll-coated tablets that protect the valuable nutrients, which are time-releasing for optimal absorption.

It's possible that you can quickly restore healthy levels of vitamin D with VitaCal-Mag D from TriVita and may even reverse many of your most dangerous health problems.

You can learn more about vitamin D, and if supplementation is right for you. I'm not a doctor or health care professional, so I can't say if you need a vitamin D supplement However, from my research, I believe that if you're not getting enough sunlight exposure, or eating foods high in vitamin D, you should do something.
