Vitamin D3 Injections

VITAMIN D, IT CHANGES EVERYTHING

Vitamin D regulates the function of a variety of tissues. In fact there are specific Vitamin D receptors in almost all the tissues in our bodies. In addition to maintaining healthy calcium levels, Vitamin D also regulates hormone secretion, and keeps the immune system robust. From the prevention of certain cancers to the lowering of blood pressure in someone with hypertension, Vitamin D is essential for maintaining optimal health, and/or healing some diseases.

LOW VITAMIN D IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:

• Osteoporosis and osteomalacia (fractures)
• Cancers; including breast, prostate and colon
• Hypertension
• Heart disease
• Insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome
• Depression
• Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
• Facial hair and acne
• Migraines
• Lowered resistance to influenza and viruses
• Pain and muscle ache

RISK FACTORS FOR VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY:

• Dark skin- produces less Vitamin D than lighter skin living North of 35 degrees latitude
• Aging- less Vitamin D conversion with age
• Sunscreen- using SPF 8 reduces production of Vitamin D by 95%
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease- reduces Vitamin D absorption
• Obesity- Vitamin D is easily stored in the body, being absorbed directly into fat cells from the intestine
• Low Estrogen levels
