  • Q&A

Vitamin D promotes intestinal calcium and phosphorous absorption and reduces urinary calcium loss, essential mechanisms for maintaining proper calcium levels in the body and for healthy bone composition. Vitamin D supports cardiovascular function in some individuals, which may be attributed to its effect on calcium metabolism or possibly by helping to maintain healthy plasma renin function. A role for vitamin D in supporting colon health by promoting healthy cellular function has also been suggested. Furthermore, vitamin D is believed to provide general cellular support potential, including for the breast and prostate, in part by helping to maintain healthy angiogenesis balance, supporting immune cell activity, and maintaining healthy cell metabolism. Vitamin D's role in immune health has long been established; vitamin D receptors are found on a number of immune cells, including lymphocytes and macrophages, supporting healthy immune cell activation.

    • Many products sold otc have poor or no absorption by the body. I wondered about this or any other of the vit d products if you have any information on there quality of being absorbed? I know people that have taken large quantities for substantial periods of time with no change in blood serum readings. thank you for your assistance- jeff
    • Hi Jeff - I understand your concern and it is a wise one to have. I highly recommend the Vitamin D360 liquid vitamin D3 drops by Seeking Health. They provide 2,000 IU per DROP and are proving their effectiveness for many of our customers and clients. http://www.healthegoods.com/vitamin-d360-by-seeking-health.html We also offer it in 5,000 IU per vegetarian capsule: http://www.healthegoods.com/vitamin-d3-5000-iu-100-vegetarian-capsules-seeking-health.html There are many reasons why supplements are not well absorbed - a couple main ones are: - added flow agents and fillers in the supplement limiting absorbtion - individual not able to absorb fats very well due to decreased bile production or liver issues or digestive issues. If you have difficulty in general of absorbing fats (gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, belching), then a digestive enzyme may be useful for you. Consider taking your vitamin D3 along with a meal and a capsule of Pro-Digestion Intensive. This combination will greatly enhance your vitamin D3 levels: http://www.healthegoods.com/pro-digestion-intensive-120-vegetarian-capsules.html Consider taking at least 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 a day. During the winter months, 5,000 IU a day is more of the standard recommendation. I also invite you to try other products by Seeking Health. I believe you will find they are well-absorbed and well-tolerated due to the nutrients used and no fillers. Best Dr Ben
