Just back from the annual Shaklee Global Conference in St. Louis! Many clinical study results were shared, but one of my favorite was the study on Vitamin D. So many people have been diagnosed Vit. D deficient and apparently, contrary to previous scientific thinking, supplementation with Vit. D increases blood levels. This is very good news for people who live north of Atlanta (!), since it's been shown that they can't get enough Vit. D from the sun in the winter months, due to the its angle.
Recent studies have also linked Vit. D to bone and cardiovascular health, including HDL (good) cholesterol levels. There are also studies being done that may show a link between Vit. D and Alzheimer's. Increased levels of Vit. D show a decreased risk for all causes of mortality.
So, pay attention to your dietary and environmental intake of this important vitamin. Get your level checked if you have any concerns.
