Best Herring Vitamin D

Vitamin D can be found in small amounts in a few foods, including fatty fish such as herring, mackerel, sardines and tuna. To make Vitamin D more available, it is added to dairy products, juices, and cereals that are then said to be “fortified with Vitamin D.” But most Vitamin D – 80% to 90% of what the body gets – is obtained through exposure to sunlight. Vitamin D can also be made in the laboratory as medicine.

Vitamin D is has been shown in some studies to show potential health benefits in conditions of the heart and blood vessels, including high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

Because Vitamin D is involved in regulating the levels of minerals, it is used for conditions caused by low levels of Phosphorous and low levels of Calcium.

How does it work?

Vitamin D is required for the regulation of the minerals Calcium and Phosphorus found in the body. It also plays an important role in maintaining proper bone structure.

Sun exposure is an easy, reliable way for most people to get Vitamin D. Exposure of the hands, face, arms, and legs to sunlight two to three times a week for about one-fourth of the time it would take to develop a mild sunburn will cause the skin to produce enough Vitamin D. The necessary exposure time varies with age, skin type, season, time of day, etc.

Nevertheless, Vitamin D deficiency is more common than you might expect. People who don’t get enough sun, especially people living in Canada and the northern half of the US, are especially at risk. Vitamin D deficiency also occurs even in sunny climates, possibly because people are staying indoors more, covering up when outside, or using sunscreens consistently.

Older people are also at risk for Vitamin D deficiency. They are less likely to spend time in the sun, have fewer “receptors” in their skin that convert sunlight to Vitamin D or may not get Vitamin D in their diet.

My Omega-3 CalaMarine is the same, trusted CalaMarine found in Omega Q Plus, giving you my recommended ratio of DHA to EPA for heart health support. It supports a normal inflammatory response and helps support your mood. Furthermore, research indicates that DHA omega-3s supports elements of healthy cognitive function, and eye health. This isn’t surprising, given the fact that DHA comprises the majority of the omega-3 fatty acids in the brain and eyes. But DHA is harder to obtain through diet alone, and ordinary fish oils typically give you more EPA and little DHA. Both EPA and DHA are important for heart health. Omega-3s may help maintain blood pressure levels that are already within the normal range, and healthy blood lipid levels. Most fish-sourced omega-3s come from salmon, tuna, herring, sardines, and anchovies. The omega-3s in CalaMarine come from calamari (squid) that are caught in pristine South American waters and have a very short life cycle, meaning there is a constantly renewing supply and no threat of over-fishing. The squid is then processed in a state-of-the-art Norwegian facility, yielding clean oil that’s easy on your digestive system, with no unpleasant smell. For these reasons, I believe Omega-3 CalaMarine containing DHA is the very best source of heart-healthy omega-3s. And my Omega-3 CalaMarine supplement, makes it easy for you to get the exact DHA-to-EPA omega-3 ratio I recommend for your heart and overall good health!
