Taking Vitamin D in Winter Reduces Incidence of Flu
A study of school children in Japan showed a 42% reduction in risk of developing influenza A when taking vitamin D supplements. Asthma attacks were also less common among vitamin D takers who caught the flu.
Also Vitamin D3 is critical for calcium uptake into bone. There is growing evidence that vitamin D may also reduce the risk of multiple sclerosis, depression, obesity, arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and upper respiratory infection.
I have been recommending Vitamin D3 for several years now. I am convinced that it can also help clients with chronic low back pain. I usually prefer omega 3 fish ooils with the D3. Take D3 with food.
I recommend the Metagenics Iso D3. It contains 2000 IU of vitamin D3 with Isoflavones. Order @ www.DrJeffreyTucker.meta-ehealth.com
