Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin long known as essential for promoting calcium absorption and thereby ensuring healthy bones. Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin and brittle, with a deficiency being a risk factor in osteoporosis.
A recent flood of research into vitamin D has investigated its role in a wide variety of diseases, including heart disease, stroke, hypertension, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, depression, chronic pain, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, muscle wasting, birth defects, possibly autism, and periodontal disease.
Experts recommend taking vitamin D supplements on a regular basis because food sources are extremely limited and our natural production depends on exposure to the sun.
Why is Vitamin D so Important to Our Health?
There has recently been an explosion of information about this vitamin. It is primarily known for its role in the absorption of calcium and so it is essential for the normal development of our bone structure. However, it has also been shown to be involved in the immune system.
Where do we get vitamin D?
As well as being obtained from food, where it is not very abundant, Vitamin D can be produced in the skin by the action of ultraviolet light (sunshine).
Although elderly people are traditionally thought to be more at risk from vitamin D deficiency, wisely, more and more of us are staying out of the sun and/or using sunscreens for protection. So, we are all at risk.
The article in The New England Journal of Medicine called for much greater supplementation with this vitamin. Be safe!
How VitaMist Sprays Work:
Vita Mist® Sprays employ an efficient nutrient-delivery system known as oral absorption. According to
VitaMist, oral absorption is now the preferred delivery method for vitamins, nitroglycerin and many dietary supplements containing minerals, amino acids and herbs. It's the fastest, most effective and convenient way to get a daily dose of the essential nutrients your body needs to stay healthy. In fact, this unique delivery system is supported by the Physicians' Desk Reference For Nonprescription Drugs and Dietary Supplements™ as the best way to achieve the nutritional supplement levels your body demands.
Advantages of Oral Absorption:
- Sprays are highly effective and rapidly absorbable.
- Sprays are easily administered every 3-4 hours, maintaining a more constant distribution of nutrients throughout the body.
- Sprays avoid the peaks and valleys common with once-a-day supplements.
- Sprays are "pure" and do not contain fillers or binders.
- Sprays can be taken anywhere and used without water, helping to cut down on missed doses.
- Sprays eliminate the awkwardness of swallowing a bulky pill.
- Sprays are ideal for those suffering from digestive disorders that can prevent or hinder the absorption of nutrients.
- When absorption, bioavailability and purity are taken into account, sprays may be more economical than pills or capsules.
