Vitamin D
Supports the Immune System and Strong Bones
400 IU and 1000 IU
New research indicates that modern indoor lifestyles may lead to a widespread increase in vitamin D deficiency. Scientists are discovering that vitamin D is an important hormone precursor that supports immune response and helps regulate the health of at least 20 different tissues, including the nervous system and joints. It also plays an important role in regulating cell growth, insulin levels, and bone formation.
Vitamin D is a Regulator of Calcium absorption in the body. Recent research suggests that the more vitamin D is available to the body the less instance of malignant cells such as breast and prostate cancer cells are produced and vitamin D may protect specific autoimmune disorders including multiple sclerosis (MS).
Christakos research demonstrated that as vitamin D levels rose, incidences of MS decreased, this was true for both oral supplementation as well as sun exposure which cause vitamin D levels to rise.
Vitamin D is manufactured in the skin when exposed to UV light; this elevated level of vitamin D in the blood may even regulate the immune response in the body. Christakos added that in regions of the world that consume high amounts of fish you will find very little occurrences of MS.
Vitamin D activates many tissues and cells and controls genes as well which effect cancer, autoimmune disease, and infections. A dosage of 800 IU to 1000 IU is recommended already and higher dosages are will probably be recommended when more research is performed.
