High-Potency Vitamin D

Nutritional sciences indicate that most people are deficient in vitamin D and that the current daily requirement is inadequate. Many clinical studies also show that vitamin D may play a preventive role in many age-related diseases*.

More Information about High-Potency Vitamin D

Over the past several years, vitamin D has been the subject of numerous scientific studies. While most people know that vitamin D is essential for proper calcium metabolism and strong bones, the most current research indicates that vitamin D also supports breast, prostate, and over all immune health.

Vitamin D is necessary for a strong immune system capable of fighting seasonal colds and flues. There is no coincidence that over 95% of all colds and flues occurs during the winter months when the amount of sunshine is the lowest, while very, very few people ever get these diseases during the summer months when sunshine is most abundant.*

Recommended Daily Requirement for Vitamin D

In spite of overwhelming evidence that higher levels of vitamin D are required for optimal health, the government has not moved to increase the out-dated 400 IU daily requirement. However, the Vitamin D Council is now recommending a daily intake of 1000 IU per 25 pounds of body weight.

A recent study at John Hopkins University of over 700 women with blood levels of the vitamin D lower than 15.3 nanograms per millilitre were more likely to die prematurely from catastrophic diseases, than women with higher levels (above 27 ng/ml), according to findings published in Nutrition Research.

“The present findings from this population-based cohort of ageing are consistent with the association between low serum 25(OH)D and mortality that has been described in the general population,” wrote the researchers, led by Richard Semba from the John Hopkins University1.
“In addition, a recent meta-analysis suggested that vitamin D supplementation was associated with decreased mortality,” they added.¹*

We only use highest quality micro encapsulated, small particle size vitamin D. The pictures show the difference under microscope.


Conventional Vitamin D beadlets approximately 180,000 particles per gram.		High quality small particle Vitamin D yielding approximately 14,000,000 particles per gram. The smaller particle size improves manufacturing uniformity and more efficient absorption and utilization by the body.

Additional Information

In addition, we offer two other Vitamin D complexes. The first, Genistein MK-7 is designed to promote strong and healthy bones. Both Genistein and vitamin K2 MK-7 have been clinically shown to help the body maintain healthy bone mass. The second, Maximum Telomere Support improves immune response and promotes longevity. Both Vitamin D and Astragalosides IV have been shown to prolong healthy DNA replication as we grow older.

Contraindications, Interactions, and Side-Effects for Vitamin D

Before taking any high-potency vitamin D product, if you have any heart or kidney disease, or if you are taking Digitalis, Orlistat (Xenical), Cholestyramine (Questran), or antacids with aluminum, please check with your health care provider before taking this product.

While vitamin D toxicity is much rarer than vitamin D deficiency, you should be aware of symptoms that may happen if you are taking too much vitamin D. These would include breathing problems, tightness in throat or chest, skin hives, rash, or itchy or swollen skin. If you experience any of these symptoms stop taking this product for several days. If symptoms reside, reintroduce the product taking half of what you were previously taking. If symptoms do not reside, then it probably isn’t the vitamin D that is causing these symptoms and other possible causes need to be investigated.

Enhanced Absorption with Small Particle Sized Vitamin D

Since Vitamin D deficiency is so common, we offer 2 different potencies. High-Potency 5000IU is recommended for the first two months to rebuild normal vitamin D levels in the body. After that, our 2000IU potency will suit most people as a continual daily maintenance level.
