Vitamin D

  The process of building and maintaining bone structure involves numerous biochemical and physiological processes. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are the two primary types of bone cells involved in maintaining skeletal structure. Osteoblasts are responsible for bone mineralization (building new bone). Osteoclasts are responsible for secreting acid and enzymes that help dissolve “old” bone tissue into calcium and other components, some of which may be reused by the body. The balance of building and breaking down bone, involves a complex interplay between various nutrients, hormones, and other biochemicals. Our Calcium/magnesium citrate formula is designed to provide the structural components, as well as help support the complex processes involved in building and maintaining strong, healthy bone structure.*   Features: Provides calcium as citrate and hydroxyapatite. Contains magnesium as citrate and oxide, both forms are well absorbed and utilized by the body. Vitamin D and K added for their role in supporting healthy bone structure.* Boron is an important trace mineral that plays a role in supporting the hormonal processes involved in bone health.* Betaine hydrochloride to support mineral absorption.* Benefits: Promotes bone growth, density and strength.* Calcium has been approved by the FDA for the prevention of osteoporosis.* Calcium citrate and hydroxyapatite provide two highly bioavailable forms of calcium for supporting the normal, healthy structure of bone tissue.* Magnesium citrate is a highly bioavailable form of magnesium and magnesium oxide contains a very high level of elemental magnesium. Both provide structural support for bone health, and magnesium is a cofactor for many important biochemical processes in the body.* Vitamin D 3 effectively raises blood levels of vitamin D, a nutrient that helps support calcium absorption, and reduces the amount of calcium lost from bone (bone resorption). Vitamin D plays many important roles in the body, several which involve supporting bone health.* Vitamin K helps activate specific proteins that help bind to calcium (osteocalcin) and helps maintain normal, healthy levels of calcium within the blood vessels (Matrix GLA-protein); helping ensure calcium remains within bone tissue.* Boron is an essential trace mineral required for various hormonal process that impact bone health, and helps support the functions of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D.* Betaine hydrochloride is added for its ability to help contribute to a low pH (high acidity) environment which is conducive to calcium absorption.*     SUGGESTED USE:   As a dietary supplement, adults take four (4) tablets daily with meals, or as directed by a health care professional.   Ingredients

Vitamin D-3 125 mcg (5,000 IU) from Lanolin in a base of Safflower oil The role of Vitamin D in helping to maintain bone density andstrength is clear. It is required for the process of moving calciumthrough the intestinal wall into the bloodstream.†Even though the human body can manufacture Vitamin D underideal circumstances, there is strong evidence that much of theAmerican population suffers from a deficiency of the nutrient. Thismeans that supplementation may be important. Cholecalciferol(D-3) is a natural, highly bioavailable form of Vitamin D derivedfrom lanolin.   Ingredients

Therefore, supplementing the diet with extra vitamin D is essential for optimal health.   Features Contains vitamin D-3 (cholecalciferol), a highly bioavailable form of Vitamin D. Sourced from lanolin (a vegetarian source of Vitamin D). Providing 2000 IU per drop in a base of safflower oil, olive oil, and organic virgin coconut oil, with added vitamin E to maintain freshness and stability. Gluten free.   Benefits Vitamin D is essential for calcium and phosphorus absorption and utilization.† Stimulates osteoblast (bone producing cell) activity, which helps maintain bone density and strength.† Stimulates the synthesis of osteocalcin, an important protein involved in bone formation.† Helps maintain adequate blood calcium levels which help support cellular metabolic processes, cardiovascular and neuromuscular/neurological functions.† Vitamin D is important for normal, healthy cell growth and function.† Helps support normal, healthy insulin secretion.† Vitamin D helps support healthy immune function.†

 Vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin” is really a hormone but categorized as a vitamin. This is because a deficiency is associated with the diseases Rickets (bone deformities) in children and Osteomalacia (poor bone mineralization leading to weak, painful bones) in adults. The body is able to synthesize pre-vitamin D3 in the skin when exposed to sunlight. The pre-vitamin D3 is rapidly converted into vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 is then transported through the blood to the liver and kidney where it is converted into the hormone calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D. Only a few foods naturally contain vitamin D including: fatty fish and cod liver oil. Fortified foods such as milk and cereal are the major dietary sources of vitamin D. It is estimated that 40% of the U.S. population is vitamin D deficient, therefore supplementing the diet with extra vitamin D is essential for optimal health. Numerous factors influence the skin’s synthesis of pre-vitamin D3 including, location, climate, sun exposure, skin color, age and use of sunscreen. When you combine all of the factors that influence vitamin D synthesis with the existing widespread deficiency, vitamin D supplementation is the most efficient and convenient way to ensure optimal vitamin D intake.*   Benefits: Vitamin D is essential for calcium and phosphorus absorption and utilization.* Stimulates osteoblast (bone producing cell) activity which helps maintain bone density and strength.* Stimulates the synthesis of osteocalcin, an important protein involved in bone formation.* Helps maintain adequate blood calcium levels which help support cellular metabolic processes, cardiovascular and neuromuscular/neurological function.* Vitamin D is important for normal, healthy cell growth and function.* Helps support normal, healthy insulin secretion.* Vitamin D helps support healthy immune function.*   Suggested Use: Take 5 Drops once per day or as directed by your healthcare professional.
