ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT VITAMINS TO SUPPLEMENT! Due to overuse of sunscreen, limited outdoor time during times of sunshine, and long, dark winter months, many people are deficient in immune supporting vitamin D. When someone asks if you want sunscreen tell them, “No thanks, it causes cancer” and watch their reaction. We have been brainwashed into being so paranoid about skin cancer we fail to realize slathering on the chemicals may be far worse. Have you ever read the ingredients in sunscreen? It would be much better to limit sun exposure and supplement with vitamin D3 when needed.

• General Health Vitamin deficiency is a leading cause of a number of ailments and preventative diseases. The health benefits from adequate blood serum levels of vitamin D, is a very long list. To give you an idea of how important vitamin D is to your health, consider these diseases and ailments that are fed by this vitamin deficiency:

  • Cancer
  • Colds and Flu
  • Diabetes
  • Obesity
  • Muscle Pain
  • Joint aches
  • Heart Disease
  • Arthritis
  • Many more...

  As you can see, there are so many ways being vitamin D deficient can destroy your health, it doesn’t pay to take chances. Using Vitamin D3 regularly is one of the most important gifts you can give yourself and your health each and every day.

• Active Lifestyle Participating in primarily indoor activities, could be causing you to be deficient in vitamin D. Even those of you who are physically active, most likely spend a lot of that active time indoors at a gym or other athletic facility. Simply riding your bike or walking to the grocery store instead of driving is one way to get outside more and expose your skin to sunlight regularly. With our busy, hectic schedules, this may not be possible even if it’s a goal of yours. This is where supplementing with vitamin D3 assists. On the days you get enough skin exposure to adequate sunslight, you can skip supplementing. However, at the end of the day when things didn’t go as planned, you had to workout indoors due to weather, or on those cloudy, dreary days, take our Vitamin D3 with dinner. Consider it your daily dose of sunshine.

ProteinCo’s Vitamin D3 protects against D vitamin deficiency which is becoming more and more prevalent these days. Particular for those in northern tier states where sunshine is limited during the winter, Vitamin D3 is crucial for keeping your immune system boosted and ready for whatever the cold and flu season might throw your way. Low vitamin D levels are responsible for a variety of health problems we face today. Even if you live where you get plenty of sunshine, numerous factors contribute to you having a D vitamin deficiency. Lack of time outdoors during daylight hours and liberal use of sunscreen can contribute to low vitamin D levels regardless of where you live. Therefore, just about everyone has at least some level of D vitamin deficiency. Recent studies show that Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3 are NOT interchangeable. Vitamin D3 is the type produced naturally in your body so it’s the logical choice as a dietary supplement. Additionally, ProteinCo’s Vitamin D3 is the best vitamin D source due to purity, high quality and value. Do not go without this critical vitamin for overall good health.

VITIMIN D3 IS THE ONLY VITAMIN D YOU SHOULD SUPPLEMENT WITH!

New research indicates vitamin D2 taken alone can actually be dangerous There are only two types of supplemental vitamin D available, Ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). Vitamin D3 should ALWAYS be your choice when supplementing with strictly vitamin D in supplement form. In the past, it was thought vitamin D2 and D3 were interchangeable and identical in terms of health benefits. Recently, it’s been found that vitamin D3 is the only choice. While D2 can be safe and effective combined in a multivitamin for example, it should never be taken alone suggests new research.

KEY NUTRIENTS

• Vitamin D3 as Cholecalciferol When your skin is exposed to enough sunlight at the proper time of day, your body will produce all the vitamin D3 you need. For a number of reasons, people of all ages are being diagnosed with a vitamin deficiency, despite thinking they are getting plenty of sun exposure. Sunscreen is one culprit. Due to the skin cancer scare, people began to slather themselves and their children with copious amounts of sunscreen anytime they went outdoors. They end up blocking the healthy UVB rays from absorbing into your skin to produce vitamin D. Additionally, people aren’t spending as much time outdoors as they used to. Especially kids who have indoor entertainment at their fingertips, the amount of daily sun exposure ends up not being adequate to produce this essential vitamin in your body. Therefore, now more than ever, it’s critical to your health, and to your children’s health to supplement with vitamin D3.

• Q – I take vitamin D2, do I still need vitamin D3? A – Unless your vitamin D2 is part of a multivitamin formulation, we suggest you throw it away and start using vitamin D3. All our research indicates vitamin D2 shouldn’t be taken as a single vitamin supplement. Combined with all the other vitamins and minerals you need is the only way to get some benefit. Our scientists now believe vitamin D3 is far superior either alone or combined in a multivitamin.

• Q – Doesn’t your Vegan Multivitamin contain enough vitamin D3? A – It actually doesn’t contain vitamin D3 at the moment making our Vitamin D3 even more important for everyone. The research concerning vitamin D2 versus D3 is so new we haven’t had time to change yet. Look for Vitamin D3 in our Vegan Multivitamin in the very near future.

  THE BEST VITAMIN D3 TO KEEP YOU HEALTHY ALL YEAR!

• Q – What is the maximum IU I should take? A – You can safely take up to 10,000 IU without being concerned at all about over dosing. The recommended dose for adults is 8000 IU per day. ProteinCo recommends you try to generate some of that at least several times per week by exposing your skin to sunlight or a safe tanning bed. Assuming you do get at least some sun exposure each day, 3000 – 6000 IU should be adequate. That would be 2-4 tablets of our Vitamin D3.

• Q – Why can’t my body produce enough vitamin D? A – Your body can produce enough vitamin D when you are exposed to enough sunlight or equivalent ultraviolet light (UVB) from a tanning bed for example. Many factors contribute to people not getting enough skin exposure to generate enough of this crucial vitamin however. The best time of day for skin exposure is when the sun is highest in the sky. This assures you get the most UVB exposure in the least amount of time, limiting the damage from unhealthy UVA rays.
