Sun-Paranoid Cancer Societies Struggle to Promote Vitamin D
In the face of mounting evidence that proper vitamin D levels significantly reduce overall cancer risk, especially for colon cancer, both the Canadian and American Cancer Societies are caught in a dilemma: how to increase vitamin D intake which comes naturally from sun exposure while warning people to stay out of the sun. This dilemma is further deepened by the fact that....Read More: Vitamin D
High Homocysteine – A New Risk Factor for Bone Loss
Homocysteine is naturally produced by the liver during protein metabolism and then cleared with the help of the B vitamins like folic acid, B12, and B6. It is well known that if homocysteine levels build up due to B vitamin deficiency (which is common) then a toxic level of homocysteine is reached that causes cholesterol to form plaque and interferes with neurotransmitter function making depression more likely. A new study is showing that high levels of homocysteine can accumulate in bone by binding to collagen. This in turn causes abnormal collagen linking, resulting in poor bone formation. On top of that, the homocysteine also acts to stimulate osteoclasts – the type of bone cell involved in bone loss.Read More: anti-inflammatory, B Vitamins, Bone and Joint Helper™, bone formation, bone loss, Calcium, Daily Bone Xcel™, Daily Super Pack™, high quality nutritional supplements, homocysteine, nutrients, osteoclasts, Super B Complex, toxic drugs, Vitamin D
Optimal Vitamin D Helps Lower Blood Pressure
A new finding about vitamin D shows that optimal blood levels of vitamin D are associated with 20% lower blood pressure. That is a rather interesting finding when you understand that there are 53% more heart attacks in the winter than in the summer and heart attacks in the winter are often more severe.Read More: Bone and Joint Helper™, Daily Bone Xcel™, Daily Builder™, heart attack, Vitamin D
Calcium and Heart Health – Flawed Study Alarms Women
A recent study published in the British Medical Journal has insinuated that calcium intake in elderly women may increase the risk for a heart attack. The study involved 1471 postmenopausal women (mean age 74). The story has been spread by major news media and has confused and needlessly worried many women who are taking calcium for their bone health. The study contains numerous flaws and therefore its conclusion is not reliable.Read More: Bone and Joint Helper™, bone loss, Calcium, Calcium AEP, citric acid, Coral Calcium, Daily Bone Xcel™, Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin™, Daily Super Pack™, DHA, elderly women, flawed study, magnesium, postmenopausal, Tri-Cal, Vitamin D
Vitamin D and Calcium Help Kill Colon Cancer Cells
There are more reasons to take vitamin D and calcium than just bone health. It has been known for some time that vitamin D and calcium are associated with less colon cancer. Researchers at Emory University have now identified key gene signaling that helps explain how these nutrients work to help kill cancer cells and protect your health.Read More: Calcium, colon cancer, Vitamin D

Vitamin D – A Gene-Regulating Super Nutrient
Vitamin D has long been known to assist healthy bones by helping to stimulate bone cells to make new bone while enhancing the uptake of calcium into bones. Its role in boosting immunity, hormone regulation, brain health, metabolism, diabetes prevention, cancer prevention, and cardiovascular health are just now becoming clear.Read More: boosting immunity, cancer prevention, diabetes prevention, hormone regulation, metabolism, Vitamin D
