Where to Buy Vitamin D

One of the key factors explaining today's high rates of chronic disease, besides poor diet and sedentary lifestyle, is an epidemic of vitamin D deficiency. It is estimated that 85 percent of Americans have insufficient levels of vitamin D!

It was once sort of relegated to the trash heap of vitamins as far as its importance, but new research shows that it is critical to the body's immune system and not having enough of it is the underlying cause of many modern maladies. So like many ideas in science, the pendulum is swinging back the other way, and all the new research shows that Vitamin D is absolutely essential for life and most of us don't get enough.

Lots of things have contributed to this state of affairs but one one of the main ones has been the emphasis on sunlight as a source of skin cancer which has driven many people indoors. In addition, modern civilization has given birth to the phenomenon of video, computers, the marriage of video and computers, and lots of indoor games. All of this has led to people spending more and more time indoors and less time in the sun. Also, with the false scares of the sun being a carcinogen, people have slathered on skin protection (ironically, containing carcinogenic ingredients themselves) in the form of sun tan lotions and kept any sun from penetrating when they are outdoors. All of this has led to an epidemic of people who don't have enough Vitamin D.

Vitamin D is essential for immune support, and it is also promotes calcium absorption in the gut, plus reduction of inflammation and the reduction of osteoporosis. It is essential for bone growth! Double blind studies now also show that it helps in depression.

So all this time when you were told to stay out of the sun, it was wrong information! Get some sun. You need it. And it feels good to your body and soul. But if you don't get enough, take a supplement. I have many different types of Vitamin D in my Vitamania store. Please visit for all your supplements, vitamins, and herbs.
