Why
do I hear so much about Vitamin D these days? Vitamin D is a hot topic because of all the current research about it. Vitamin D is actually not a "vitamin".
It behaves more like a hormone in the body. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to 17 varieties of cancer, heart disease,
stroke, high blood pressure, autoimmune disease, diabetes, depression, weakness, muscle wasting, birth defects and periodontal
disease. We recommend Vitamin D3 supplementation (400iu, 2000iu, or 5000iu) depending on an individual's
laboratory results. Visit www.vitamindcouncil.org for research and information on Vitamin D.
How do I have my Vitamin D level tested?
Your healthcare provider can order a simple blood test that will provide
your current Vitamin D level.
