Vitamin D-3 2000 IU 120 Caps

Most patients are deficient in Vitamin D. Even those who live in southern latitudes tend to spend most of their time inside, behind ultra-violet protection or use sunscreen, all of which inhibit Vitamin D production. For example, studies show that SPF 8 reduces Vitamin D synthesis by 92.8% and SPF 15 reduces it by 99%! 2,000 IU Vitamin D is the new daily recommended dose by the NIH as reported at their 2007 conference. The median intake of D-3 in the U.S. is 230 IU/day, far below necessary levels. Our Vitamin D-3, cholecalciferol, is the most bio-available form of vitamin D and is equivalent to the vitamin D formed in our skin from ultraviolet B light.
