Editor's Notes
- Let’s talk about our newest vitamin supplement – a product that many of you have been asking for because vitamin D has been in the news so much in recent years. It’s Vita-D3™, a convenient way to get more of vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin.”
- Many studies in the last ten years have shown that a majority of Canadians, at least 80% – and more in some studies – have a vitamin D deficiency.
- Osteoporosis Canada reports on its Web site that almost 2 million Canadians are living with osteoporosis. 1 in 4 women and at least 1 in 8 men over 50 have osteoporosis. Vitamin D is known to be essential for calcium absorption for maintaining strong bones and teeth and Health Canada authorizes the claim that “vitamin D, combined with calcium, a healthy diet, and regular exercise, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis.”
- Research is also being done on many more aspects of health affected by vitamin D status, including the boosting of heart health, strengthening the immune system, and healthy cell development. If you have read a newspaper or magazine lately, you’ll know that vitamin D is connected to all sorts of bodily functions and health conditions, so that’s why Health Canada also lets us say it’s “a factor in the maintenance of good health.”
- The sun’s rays makes a vitamin D precursor in our skin, so you may need more vitamin D in the fall and winter, when you’re less likely to get sun exposure. It’s also a fact that people of colour, especially those of African and east Asian background, absorb less UVB radiation from the sun’s rays and make less vitamin D than persons of lighter skin colour. Darker skin contains a natural sunblock that makes it harder for the skin to make vitamin D.
- Of course, if you work indoors during the day, you won’t get any sun exposure, so you would need extra vitamin D. And as you age, your skin loses its ability to make vitamin D from sunshine, so the older you get, the more vitamin D you’ll need.
- The farther north or south of the equator you live, the less effective the UVB rays of the sun will be in producing vitamin D in the skin. Persons living above 35º latitude, which includes all of Canada, don’t receive sufficient sunlight during the winter months to produce adequate levels of vitamin D. If you’re an Inuit living in our northernmost regions, you’re probably getting all your vitamin D from fatty fish, but you’re an exception!
- The farther north or south of the equator you live, the less effective the UVB rays of the sun will be in producing vitamin D in the skin. Persons living above 35º latitude, don’t receive sufficient sunlight during the winter months to produce adequate levels of vitamin D. If you’re an Inuit living in our northernmost regions, you’re probably getting all your vitamin D from fatty fish, but you’re an exception!
- Vitamin D is stored in fatty tissue, so if you’re overweight or obese, you will need to get more vitamin D to maintain an optimal level of circulating vitamin D. People who don’t exercise regularly also need to take additional vitamin D. Weight-bearing exercise is certainly important in building strong bones, so you need to ensure you get enough vitamin D and calcium. Foods rich in vitamin D include eggs, chicken livers, salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel, swordfish, and fish liver oils, but most of these aren’t eaten regularly enough to supply an adequate daily dosage of vitamin D to consumers. While milk, margarine, and some cereals and juices are fortified with vitamin D, diet alone just isn’t able to bring most Canadians to acceptable levels.
- So, Shaklee’s response is to add some sunshine to your day with our convenient, easy-to-swallow vitamin D tablet supplement, Vita-D3™!
- Shaklee Vita-D3 is a high-potency formula with 1,000 IU of the most potent form of supplemental vitamin D – the D3 (or cholecalciferol) rather than the D2 (or ergocalciferol) form. D3 is twice as potent as D2 in preparing serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, the form of vitamin D that circulates in the bloodstream. This potency allows you to customize your total vitamin D intake by easily adding 1,000 IU to your daily dosage from other Shaklee products.
- For example, if you’re already taking products like Shaklee Vitalizer, Vita-Lea, one of Cal Mag Plus products, or various Cinch products, you can easily add an extra 1,000 IU of vitamin D to your regimen to increase your blood levels and improve your health.
- Shaklee Vita-D3 allows you to benefit from all the research that has been done on vitamin D in the last decade, including two industry-leading Shaklee studies. Like other Shaklee nutritional supplements, it will come as no surprise that Vita-D3 gets the usual Shaklee treatment at the quality control level. Over 300 tests are done in the making of every batch of Vita-D3 tablets. The formula contains NO artificial flavours, sweeteners, colours, or preservatives and is gluten free and Star-K kosher certified. Last, but not least, Vita-D3 is 100% guaranteed by Shaklee – your money back or a replacement if you’re dissatisfied in any way.
- So, put some extra sunshine in your life every day, even the rainy ones, with Shaklee Vita-D3!
