Best 25 Oh Vitamin D Level

Vitamin D3 is an essential nutrient scientifically known for its ability to boost immunity, improve bone health,support calcium levels & aid in weight loss. It supports weight loss by controlling the use of calcium, converts to calcitriol which controls body mass index and by controlling blood sugar and insulin production.

The research that has come out in recent years concerning Vitamin D has been nothing short of scientifically mind-blowing. Back in the 60’s the sum total of this nutrient was that its deficiency caused rickets, it was fat-soluble, more than 400 IU was unnecessary, and 800 iu was toxic!

Vitamin D is important for the absorption of ingested calcium: if you don’t get enough of it, you don’t appropriately absorb calcium. It’s important for the health of our bones and if you’re low in Vitamin D, you’re at risk for osteoporosis.

After a long history of ‘nothing new in that area’, Vitamin D exploded onto the scene as a multi-faceted nutrient of unbelievable versatility.

It’s very important for our muscles too. The tightening and relaxation of all our muscles is highly calcium dependent. You can develop cramping, muscle aches and even pains that can get misdiagnosed as Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

The ultra-biggie came with the discovery of how important Vitamin D is concerning normal functioning of our immune system. At about the same time, it was discovered that the fears concerning toxicity from this fat-soluble nutrient were not only over-blown, but that nearly all of us were getting way too little of the stuff.

It was found that, when taken in thousands of IU, all sorts of immune stimulating benefits were seen. People with long histories of all sorts of illnesses, allergies, and complaints were finding clear benefit just from adding extra Vitamin D.

The cheapest form of Vitamin D, D2, is synthetic which is poorly absorbed. Ours is 100% natural vitamin D (D3 or cholecalciferol).
