(Medical-NewsWire.com, August 14, 2014 ) Hollywood, Florida -- For several years already, vitamin D3 has been the subject of a considerable amount of research, and today vitamin D3 supplements are among the most popular dietary supplements on the market. The importance of vitamin D first came to light in the 1920s when researchers were able to establish that vitamin D deficiency was the leading cause of the Rickets epidemic that was sweeping the globe, leaving in its wake millions of children with severe and irreversible bone deformities.
Governments subsequently began implementing laws that required certain foods to be vitamin D enriched, and soon Rickets was all but eradicated. For several decades after this discovery, nobody paid much attention to vitamin D, but that soon changed when more and more studies began showing a clear link between vitamin D deficiency and several serious illnesses, including breast cancer; prostate cancer, Parkinson's disease and high blood pressure, to name just a few.
Despite all the evidence which connects vitamin D deficiency to countless diseases, it is still best known for its effectiveness in treating bone conditions like Rickets and Osteoporosis. The reason for this is because without adequate vitamin D, the human body is unable to absorb sufficient calcium from ones diet, even if calcium supplements are taken.
In a recent interview with Nutra Mina, a leading vitamin D supplement retailer, their spokesman had this to say: "The first thing people need to realize is that vitamin D is actually a hormone rather than a vitamin. It is not just another nutrient required by the body, but instead, it regulates a number of bodily functions, with the most prominent function being calcium absorption. It doesn't matter if you are getting enough calcium. Without sufficient vitamin D, you body simply cannot absorb enough calcium to support proper bone development" said Mr. Oliver Adams from his Hollywood office.
When asked if a good quality vitamin D supplement was adequate protection for the average person, Mr. Adams stressed that vitamin D is crucial, but it is not a magic bullet. "We see many consumers taking vitamin D3 supplements, and many are taking calcium supplements as well just to be on the safe side. This is a good thing, but at the same time, consumers should also realize that vitamin D sort of needs some assistance. In simple terms, vitamin D helps the body to absorb calcium, but research is increasingly showing that vitamin K is needed in order to direct all that calcium to the right places. Let's just say, vitamin D is like a gate keeper, while vitamin K is the traffic police. The gate keeper allows the traffic in, and the traffic police direct the traffic in order to avoid mayhem" said Mr. Oliver.
Alarmingly, numerous studies and surveys have shown that vitamin K deficiency is almost as widespread as vitamin D deficiency. "My advice would be for people to take a good quality vitamin D3 supplement once a day for two or three months, and then they should go and have a proper blood test done to determine whether or not they should include a vitamin K supplement" said Mr. Adams.
