Vitamin D: Nature’s Most Important Nutrient
Vitamin D is so important for good health that nature gave us a way to make it. We produce it when the sun’s rays react with cholesterol. However, fearing skin cancer, most Americans now use sunscreen, which blocks vitamin D production. Aging also reduces our ability to make vitamin D.
Because vitamin D is also sparse in the diet, most of us are left with less than research shows we need. Vitamin D is involved in so many bodily functions, its deficiency may increase the risks for health challenges Americans most frequently encounter.
How Much Vitamin D Do You Need?
Decades ago, the National Academy of Sciences set 400 IU of vitamin D as the “Daily Value,” because this is what we need to prevent rickets. It had not yet been discovered that vitamin D is involved in other aspects of health. Studies at America’s most prestigious medical schools suggest that optimal health requires 2000 IU to 5000 IU of vitamin D per day. They have also learned that up to 10,000 IU is safe.
How Can I Get That Much Vitamin D?
To get 5000 IU of vitamin D from food, you’d need six servings of salmon or 20 glasses of vitamin D fortified milk. You can get 5000 IU by exposure to summer sun, but not without the risk for skin cancer or premature aging. Optimal vitamin D levels requires supplements.
Vitamin-D 2000 IU & Vitamin-D 5000 IU
Vitamin-D 2000 IU and Vitamin-D 5000 IU are made for those who want the general health protection provided by vitamin D. Use Vitamin-D 2000 IU if you get at least 30 minutes of unblocked sun exposure each day. If not, use Vitamin-D 5000 IU™. Those who get enough sun in the summer, but not in the winter, can switch with the seasons.*
