Vitamin D3 for Bones
What Is Vitamin D?
Vitamin D is acquired by diet, fortified foods, supplements or exposure to sunlight. As reported in the vitamin D fact sheet for health professionals, “Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in very few foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement. It is also produced endogenously when ultraviolet rays from sunlight strike the skin and trigger vitamin D synthesis.”
What’s So Great about It?
Vitamin D is so great because it is essential for strong bones, for which you need more than just calcium. In fact, studies insist that both vitamin D and calcium are needed to maintain strong bones. Vitamin D is so important that in the 1930s, it was added to milk because children were getting rickets or soft bones from lack of vitamin D. (more…)

There is a direct relationship between Vitamin D levels and mental ability. Studies show that low levels of Vitamin D are associated with poor cognitive performance while high levels of Vitamin D are linked to high scores on cognitive performance tests. Health experts now believe that the intake level of Vitamin D should be higher.
Vitamin D may support brain function by influencing brain proteins associated with learning, memory, motor control, and maternal and social behavior. It is also thought that Vitamin D supports increased levels of glutathione, which works as an antioxidant. (more…)

The American Medical News, a news publication for physicians published by the American Medical Association, is encouraging physicians to perform Vitamin D testing!
Natural Vitamin D intake from both dietary sources and sunlight could be a lot less than we think, thus increasing the risk of vitamin deficiency. Therefore, testing may be an important way of uncovering Vitamin D deficiencies. Supplementing a healthy diet with additional vitamins can help protect against vitamin deficiencies and increase vitamin levels.

Studies show that Vitamin deficiencies are more common that you might think. Here is why many people are not getting enough vitamin D in their diet:
First of all, milk, one of the most potent dietary sources of vitamin D, does not give you enough Vitamin D and is often in the form of vitamin D2, which is not as effective at maintaining vitamin D levels as vitamin D3, so you may have less Vitamin D in your bloodstream that you realize.
Secondly, since daily fish consumption is not recommended, due to the environmental issues with fish, getting enough vitamin D3 to truly benefit your health could be more challenging than you think. (more…)

Secondly, the form of vitamin D commonly added to our milk supply in the form of Vitamin D2, also known as ergocalciferol, is an inferior form. Vitamin D2, a form commonly found in some vitamin supplements, milk, and cereal is the synthetic form of the vitamin and is not as effective at maintaining blood levels of Vitamin D. (more…)
