Vitamin D Drops, 400 IU, 1 Oz

Description

Vitamin D is the common name that refers to several forms of this fat-soluble vitamin. Two forms are important to humans: Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), which is made by plants, and Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), which is made by the human body when the skin is exposed to ultraviolet B (UVB) rays from the sun. As little as ten minutes of sun exposure per day is thought to produce enough Vitamin D to prevent a deficiency.*

Supplement Amounts

While many people are Vitamin D deficient, some are not. Your health care professional may be able to assist you by arranging for a Vitamin D test, to ascertain your best level of supplementation.

Vitamin D can be toxic if too much is taken on a regular basis, although human toxicity probably begins to occur only after a very high chronic daily consumption of approximately 40,000 IU per day.*

Product Benefits:

Vitamin D aids in the body’s absorption of calcium and phosphorous. Sufficient blood levels of these minerals are needed for proper calcification of bones and cartilaginous tissues. Vitamin D thus increases bone mineral density, and thereby decreases the risk of bone fractures.*

Vitamin D is sometimes regarded as a hormone for its involvement in regulating certain organ and tissue systems.*

Deficiency Symptoms*:

• Skeletal deformities in children
• Muscular weakness and weak bones in adults

Removing Tricalcium Phosphate:

Dr. Hulda Clark recommended Vitamin D3to help remove deposits of the food additive, tricalcium phosphate, by “mobilizing” the calcium in them.
