Vitamin deficiencies are commonly known throughout America and across the globe. Factors like age, gender, diet, genetics, and medications can all influence the nutrients our bodies can absorb, however, there’s a new developing factor creating a larger deficiency in one key nutrient among the youth.*†
 

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that helps maintain and support regular bodily functions like building strong bones, immune health, and body weight. It’s also one of the few vitamins we can produce on our own without supplementation. A recent study revealed that vitamin D deficiency is becoming more common in people younger than age 65. The reason? Many experts hypothesize this growing lack of Vitamin D had a lot to do with the increased time spent indoors on devices like computers, phones, and gaming consoles.*

Improve Overall Health With Vitamin D

Common symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency include bone loss and infection. However, research tells us that low blood levels of vitamin D have also been linked with an increased risk of all-cause mortality (death).

Other symptoms may include:

  • Frequent illness (Tip: Vitamin D helps support immune health!)*†
  • Tiredness and Fatigue (Tip: Increased amounts of vitamin D have been shown to reduce fatigue)*†
  • Bone Pain (Tip: The body cannot absorb calcium without vitamin D)*†

Spending some extra time soaking up the sun not only feels great on your skin but also allows the sunlight to penetrate the skin and converts cutaneous 7-dehydrocholesterol to pre-vitamin D3, which in turn becomes vitamin D3. This is one of the best ways to feed your body its daily dose of this essential nutrient. Try to set aside 10-20 minutes a day for a quick “sunbath” and recharge your vitamin D levels.*†

There are two primary forms of vitamin D which are vitamin D2 and vitamin D3. You can find vitamin D2 in foods like mushrooms and soy milk. Vitamin D3 is much more common and found in foods like salmon, egg yolks, and cow’s milk. It’s also the same type of vitamin D created by your body when exposed to sunlight.
 
Studies have been conducted to determine which type of vitamin D is better for overall health, D2 or D3, revealing that D3 supplementation increased vitamin D levels in the body better than vitamin D2.
 
Our in-house formulator, Dr. Mark Stengler, NMD also recommends vitamin D3 as the preferred method of supplementation paired with K2 since this also helps support bone health.
