The Many Faces of Vitamin D: What Everyone Should Know

By Chris D. Meletis, ND, Executive Director of the Institute for Healthy Aging

Are you at unnecessary risk for future health conditions?

Vitamin D deficiency is reaching epidemic levels, contributing to unnecessary suffering, disease states and decreased quality of life. A combination of sedentary indoor living and use of sunscreens and SPF cosmetics is further contributing to the health crisis. It is estimated that upwards of 50% of Americans are Vitamin D insufficient.

Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to:

• Various forms of cancer, including breast, prostate and colon cancer
• Fractures
• Hypertension
• Heart Disease
• Decreased immunity and lowered resistance to influenza and viruses
• Depression
• Pain and Muscle Aches
• High C-Reactive Protein levels
• Insulin Resistance
• Osteoporosis

While Reference Daily Intakes remain static at 400 IU per day, current research shows that dosages up to 5,000 IU may provide significant health benefits, and that safe upper limits could be as high as 10,000 IU.

Are you getting enough Vitamin D? With most of us spending much of our time inside and dietary shortfalls, there is a chance you may not be receiving adequate levels of Vitamin D.
