Vitamin D Booster

Over 41% of Americans have a Vitamin D deficiency!

Mounting evidence suggests that vitamin D deficiency could be linked to several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found the overall prevalence rate of vitamin D deficiency was 41.6%, with some groups exhibiting even higher rates of deficiency.

We all know that our bodies synthesize vitamin D from sun exposure and yet many people are vitamin D deficient. The amount of sun exposure time needed varies greatly with factors such as geographic location, skin melanin, time of day, area size of skin exposed, etc.

Sunlight is the best source of vitamin D, but other sources include oily fish, fortified milk, beef liver, egg yolks, mushrooms, fortified breakfast cereals and Vitamin D supplements.

Vitamin D Benefits

Science has established that vitamin D is essential in many ways to good health, and that deficiency is linked with physical problems and even mental issues.

Vitamin D helps to regulate calcium, strengthening bones, fighting brittle bones and conditions such as osteoporosis.

Recent studies also suggest that vitamin D might have protective benefits against heart failure, diabetes, cancer, respiratory tract infections, and autoimmune disease.

In summary, vitamin D deficiency was common in the US population. Given that vitamin D deficiency is linked to some of the important risk factors of leading causes of death in the United States, it is important that health professionals are aware of this connection and offer dietary and other intervention strategies to correct vitamin D deficiency.
