BAUSTIN VITAMIN POWER
VitaminD3 main funtion is to
maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. Also aids in the absorption of calcium, helping to form and
maintain strong teeth and bones. Insufficient sunlight exposure,less than 20 minutes per day, are associated with
both osteoporosis and a greater evidence of hip fractures. Alzheimer's disease is also associated with an increased
risk of hip fractures. Arthritis and its associated symptoms occur because of breakdown of cartilage in the
joints.Just like bone health, it is also needed to maintain healthy cartilage,and healthy teeth. Clinical studies
now show that a deficiency of VitaminD3associated with four of the most common cancers,Breast
cancers,Prostate,Colon and Skin. In fact, it was shown that this deficiency is likely to be a major factor for the
development of type one Diabetes in children. Low levels of this Super VitaminD3 may increase the risk of calcium
build-up in the arteries, a significant component of atherosclerotic plaque. Atherosclerotic plaque build up in
blood vessels can lead to a heart attack or stroke. Also may play a role in the development of high blood pressure
in those with kidney disease and/or hyperparathyroidism. Multiple Sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases such as
Sjogren's Syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroiditis and Crohn's disease have all been linked with low vitamin
levels. Obesity has also been linked to Vitamin deficiency. Other problems associated with low deficiency,are
Infertility, PMS,Fatigue, Depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder. Steroids, like prednisone, are often
prescribed to reduce inflammation from a variety of medical problems. These medicines may be essential for a
person's medical treatment, but they have potential side effects, including decreased calcium absorption. There is
some evidence that steroids may also impair vitamin D metabolism, further contributing to the loss of bone and
development of osteoporosis associated with steroid medications. High caffeine intake may accelerate bone loss. A
study found that elderly postmenopausal women who consumed more than 300 milligrams per day of caffeine, which is
equivalent to approximately 18 oz of caffeinated coffee lost more bone in the spine than women who consumed less
than 300 milligrams per day. However, there is also evidence that increasing calcium intake can counteract any
potential negative effect that caffeine may have on bone loss. Exposure to sunlight is an important source of
vitamin D. Ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight trigger vitamin D synthesis in the skin. Many populations through
out the world are exposed to quite suboptimal levels of sunlight, especially during the winter months. Though
vitamin D is naturally found in salt water fish such as herring, salmon, sardines, and fish liver oils, our typical
diet is very low in vitamin D. Since the 1930's foods such as milk, margarine, butter, cereals and chocolate mixes
have been fortified with synthetic forms of the vitamin. In addition to geographical and seasonal factors,
ultraviolet light from the sun may also be blocked by air pollution. The tendency to wear clothes, to live in
cities where tall buildings block adequate sunlight from reaching the ground, to live indoors, to use synthetic
sunscreens that block ultraviolet rays, all contribute to the inability of the skin to biosynthesize sufficient
amounts of vitamin D3.
