75% Of People Are Deficient In Vitamin D! Are You?

It is not unusual to start feeling the lows during the long winter months.  The lack of sunlight can definitely be a cause for depression, a low immune system, and in general, an overall sense of aches, pains, and malaise.

With a lack of sunlight, the one vitamin that gets the most affected is vitamin D levels.

Suppose there is one vitamin that you need to take during the winter months. In that case, it is Vitamin D.  Vitamin D works as an antioxidant, natural antibiotic, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and even as an anti-cancer agent.  It is also known to boost the immune system to fight infections and help boost brain health.

Consider the following facts:

  • Topical sunscreens block vitamin D production by 97-100%.
  • The risk of having a heart attack is twice as high if your levels of Vitamin D are low
  • There is an association between vitamin D deficiency and increased risk of type 1 diabetes
  • Medications such as Metformin (for diabetes) work only 13% of the time if your vitamin D levels are low, vs 60% of the time if you have adequate levels of Vitamin D
  •  We can decrease the progression of osteoarthritis with adequate levels of vitamin D
  • Symptoms of multiple sclerosis are more severe if your vitamin D is low
  • If your vitamin D levels are low, then you will have a higher risk of dying of cancer!!

So do you think we need to measure vitamin D levels? Absolutely!!!
