Vitamin D Becomes a "Vitamin Superstar"

Amazing study results are out and Vitamin D appears to be a superstar. Check out these results:

If people maintain their serum Vitamin D levels above 65, they experience:

à        50% decrease in all cancers

à        58% decrease  in breast cancer

à        55% decrease in colon cancer

à        65% decrease in diabetes

à        58% decrease in multiple sclerosis

Basically, if you keep your vitamin D levels above 65, your chance of major disease decreases dramatically. So how much Vitamin D should you take?  You’ll need to have your levels tested. But as the results show, getting tested and maintaining your levels are well worth the effort and cost. At LexiLife, we  like patient levels to be around 70, if possible.  Since we are all unique, the amount of Vitamin D it takes to reach and maintain these levels varies for each of us. If your levels are low, it will take a pharmaceutical grade vitamin supplement to elevate your levels. Once you reach optimum levels, you may be able to maintain them with adequate sun and diet.  If not, you can usually maintain your levels with low dose supplementation.
