I am Vitamin D3 Deficient
You have discovered that you are vitamin D3 deficient, and you're wondering what you should do to correct your deficiency. You first step is to talk to a qualified healthcare professional to determine how much D3 you should be getting and the best way to get it. Your healthcare professional may recommend a D3 supplement, dietary changes, lifestyle changes, or a combination of all three.
Vitamin D3 supplementation is a quick and surefire way to achieve healthy vitamin D3 levels for those who are deficient or who are at high risk of deficiency.
With every new day comes new scientific research highlighting the detrimental effect that vitamin D3 deficiency can have on our health. So far, vitamin D3 deficiency has been associated with:
- Increased risk of cancer including breast,[3] prostate,[4] colon[5] and pancreas[6]
- Increased risk of cardiovascular problems[7]
- Insulin resistance[8]
- Increased risk of multiple sclerosis[9] and other autoimmune disease (e.g. lupus)
- Increased risk of obesity[10]
- Increased risk of depression and mood disorders [11]
- Increased risk of Crohn’s disease and other inflammatory conditions [12]
On the other hand, adequate levels of vitamin D are associated with:
- Reduced incidence of upper respiratory tract infection[13]
- Reduced risk of rheumatoid arthritis[14]
- Reduction in hip fractures, particularly in the elderly[15]
Vitamin D3 supplementation can go a long way to righting a D3 deficiency and preventing chronic health problems.
