Can a simple vitamin unlock the secrets of good health? Yes it can! Vitamin D is essential for promoting calcium absorption in the gut and maintaining adequate serum calcium and phosphate concentrations to enable bone maintenance and growth. Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, or misshapen. Vitamin D has other roles in human health, including modulation of neuromuscular, immune function and reduction of inflammation. Vitamin D3 preferred over Vitamin D2 because it will be more easily absorbed in the body. Taking supplemental vitamin D is essential because very few foods in nature contain it. While the sunshine on the skin is an excellent source of vitamin D it may not be practical for reasons of health of the skin, location, or having the time. Americans aged 50 and older are at increased risk of developing vitamin D insufficiency. Osteoporosis is an example of a long-term effect of calcium and vitamin D insufficiency. Adequate storage levels of vitamin D maintain bone strength and might help prevent osteoporosis in older adults, individuals who have difficulty exercising, postmenopausal women, and those on chronic steroid therapy. Make sure you have this essential benefit for you and your family by taking your Maxi D3-1000 every day!
