Understanding Vitamin D Cholecalciferol

The high rate of natural production of vitamin D3 cholecalciferol (pronounced koh·luh·kal·sif·uh·rawl) in the skin is the single most important fact every person should know about vitamin D—a fact that has profound implications for the natural human condition.

Technically not a "vitamin," vitamin D is in a class by itself. Its metabolic product, calcitriol, is actually a secosteroid hormone that targets over 2000 genes (about 10% of the human genome) in the human body. Current research has implicated vitamin D deficiency as a major factor in the pathology of at least 17 varieties of cancer as well as heart disease, stroke, hypertension, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, depression, chronic pain, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, muscle wasting, birth defects, periodontal disease, and more.

Vitamin D's influence on key biological functions vital to one's health and well-being mandates that vitamin D no longer be ignored by the health care industry nor by individuals striving to achieve and maintain a greater state of health.

Calcium Vitamin D – A Perfect Combination For Longevity!

Calcium in combination with the sunshine vitamin can perform miracles for your health in a way that you would have never thought ! Vitamin D is synthesized in our body when sunlight reaches our skin. It is the hormone Vitamin D3 which is the actual regulator of calcium and phosphorus levels in the human body.

Calcium

Calcium ions in our body are tremendously important. We require a minimum dosage of 300 mg of calcium per day – for the active individuals and for pregnant mothers, the dosage can go over 500 mg per day! Calcium helps strengthen the immune system other than making our bones strong and keeping them healthy. Calcium ions are crucial in supporting the electrolytic balance in our body thereby supporting the health of our nervous system !

Calcium can be introduced in the diet through green vegetables and lots of dairy products like milk, cottage cheese, yogart etc. However, the level of calcium in those foods is hardly enough to have an impact . Recent research has shown that authentic marine-grade coral calcium is the best source you can get . Good calcium levels in the body help maintain the pH balance and also increase the blood clotting capacity . That is they help fix the damaged platelets and fibrins in the blood coagulum.

Vitamin D and Calcium Combo!

This mixture of calcium vitamin D is perhaps the most potent combination of all possible vitamin combinations. The benefits of such a potent combination are vast . While vitamin D regulates the amount of intake and outgoing levels of calcium and phosphorus in the body, calcium can do the repair work in the meantime . Also, reasonable calcium and Vitamin D levels in the body mean:

Lesser joint pains or injuries
Good quality bones and healthy teeth
Healthy bone marrow
Prevention of osteoporosis in the elderly
supporting the electrical equilibrium in the body,

New evidence: Vitamin D supplements reduce breast cancer risk

A new study led by Canadian researchers and published in the April 14, 2010 issue of American Journal of Clicnical Nutrition suggests that taking vitamin D supplementsmay help reduce breast cancer risk drastically.
Anderson L.N. and colleagues from Population Studies Surveillance Cancer Care Ontario in Toronto Canada conducted the case-control study and found women taking 400 IU/day of vitamin D were at 24 percent lower risk of breast cancer compared to those who did not take supplements. Anderson compared 3101 breast cancer patients aged 25 to 74 with 3471 controls for their intakes of vitamin D trough food and supplements to see if vitamin D has anything to do with the risk of breast cancer.
Early evidence suggests that vitamin D deficiency boosts the risk of the disease.Although there was an association between taking vitamin D supplements and irks of breast cancer, vitamin D in food or combined intake of vitamin D from food and supplements were not associated with the risk. A few foods that naturally contain vitamin D include fatty fish, egg york and mushroom. A number of processed foods and beverages that are fortified with the vitamin include milk, orange juices and other solid foods.

If you care about your health and don't get sunshine, take 5000 IU of vitamin D3 per day.


This is the recommendation of the Vitamin D Council.

The Vitamin D Council suggests a bloodstream leval of 50 to 70 ng/ml of vitamin D3. Keeping your level in this range, and even erring toward the higher number in this range, is going to give you the most protective benefit. The way you maintain your levels within this range is by getting tested regularly – say two to four times a year in the beginning, and adjusting your vitamin D intake accordingly.

Intra-Oral Spray Nutrient Delivery System

Ronald M. Lawrence, M.D., Ph.D. *

"The Intra-Oral Spray nutrient delivery system is the wave of the future. In my experience as a practicing physician, I find that Spray delivery not only guarantees that the patient gets most of the nutrient delivered faster and more efficiently into the blood stream, but it also avoids gastrointestinal tract problems present with so many oral capsules, tablets, and liquids."

"The Intra-oral Spray method of delivery ensures that you get the full amount of the nutrient. This is especially important not only with older adults, but also many younger people who often fail to absorb the nutrients they ingest."

* Dr. Lawrence is a former member of the National Advisory Council on Aging, National Institutes of Health, former Co-Chairman of the Sports Medicine council of the AAU, and author of 35 medical textbooks, research papers, and the consumer book, 'Goodbye Pain'. Dr Lawrence has appeared on over 300 radio and TV shows, as well as hosting the Ask the Doctor show. In 1976, he was awarded the prestigious Phillip Noel Baker Research Award by U.N.E.S.C.O. at the Montreal Olympics. His other accomplishments as a medical scientist would fill several pages.
