According to a recent study, vitamin D may help reduce the incidence and severity of both viral respiratory tract infections and the flu, at least during the fall and winter months, the typical time of year when these conditions are most prevalent.

Published: October 23 2009 Reinhold Vieth is frustrated. A thin, bald professor at the University of Toronto’s Department of Laboratory Medicine and Patho-biology, Vieth is among the most knowledgeable people in the world on the subject of vitamin D. He began studying it as a graduate student in 1974 and hasn’t changed his focus since. “I stick with vitamin D and follow it where it goes,” he says. In recent years, vitamin D has been going to some exciting places. Reports of new and promising studies seem to emerge almost weekly. A 2007 analysis of vitamin D studies found that individuals with higher vitamin D levels are significantly – as much as 50 percent – less likely to develop colorectal cancer. Another 2007 study found that women who took 1,100 International Units (IU) of vitamin D per day together with a calcium supplement reduced their overall cancer risk by 60 percent. And the excitement is not only about cancer prevention. Low vitamin D levels have been linked to an increased risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, depression and rheumatoid arthritis, among other diseases. Perhaps not surprisingly, in light of the other studies, one recent review of the health records of more than 13,000 Americans found that individuals with the lowest vitamin D levels were 26 percent more likely, in an eight-year period, to die than those with the highest levels. This article can be found at: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/11180df8-beaa-11de-b4ab-00144feab49a,_i_email=y.html The economic burden due to vitamin D insufficiency in the United States is $40-$53 billion per year. This can be corrected for pennies a person per day. Learn why you're most likely not getting enough Vitamin D and how this can cause illness and chronic disease.

This supplement provides 5000 IU per serving to get your body back to normal and healthy levels. Because this supplement is a powder, you can then control how much of the supplement you take. For example, for a maintenance dose, you may only need 2500 IU so you would take 1/2 the serving per day. Isotonic-capable supplements are a drinkable supplements, which are superior to pill-form supplements for their delivery and absorption. When taken correctly, you will absorb 90-95% of the supplement in 5-10 minutes. Compare this to pill-form supplements that contain binders and fillers, which can upset your stomach and prevent maximum absorption. Typically, you only absorb 25-30% of a pill-form supplement and this can take up to 4 hours!

A recent study demonstrates that those that have low levels of vitamin D have an increased risk of developing tuberculosis when having been exposed to an infected person living in the same household, compared to those with high levels of vitamin D who have had a similar exposure.
