Both Easy and Beneficial to Raise Vitamin D Levels
Vitamin D deficiency is a worldwide epidemic.. 14% of the world population has poor vitamin D levels. (1) One published report states that it affects 1 billion of us worldwide. (2) Low vitamin D status is linked to a varied assortment of diseases. Improving vitamin D levels is beneficial and easy…if vitamin D supplementation is followed. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc encourages our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients to know and improve as necessary their vitamin D levels. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is confident that positive health benefits will follow from this effort.
DISEASES LINKED TO LOW VITAMIN D LEVELS
A rampant vitamin D deficiency is correlated with many diseases. The incidence of cancers like breast, colorectal, kidney, lung, and pancreatic is related to low vitamin D levels. Diabetes, rickets, rheumatic arthritis, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer diseases, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, and fractures in adults are as well. (1, 2, 3) Vitamin D participates importantly in calcium homeostasis, skeletal metabolism, and the function of immune, cardiovascular and reproductive systems. (2) Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is also research-related to vitamin D status and bone mineral density. (3) Vitamin D3 supplementation is effective in its care. Checking the occurrence of osteopenia/osteoporosis in these patients is the test as to the effectiveness of the treatment. (4) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc notes that this is interesting as these two conditions are also identified as being affected by vitamin D status as well. Fort Wayne chiropractic care at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc benefits Fort Wayne chiropractic patients with these conditions.
BENEFITS OF IMPROVING VITAMIN D LEVELS
Supplementing those who take antidepressants with vitamin D is documented to improve the antidepressive effect. Researchers propose that vitamin D may be beneficial for other such conditions beyond just depression like schizophrenia, cognitive disturbances, attention deficit disorder, and autism. (1) Providing a daily same dose of vitamin D (1000 units/kg I.P.) to post-surgical back patients on day one through day 21 lessens symptoms of neuropathic pain. (5) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc sees how these benefits are worth the effort our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients would undertake to raise low vitamin D levels.
HOW TO RAISE VITAMIN D LEVELS
A study of healthy young women showed that taking calcium plus vitamin D (1500 IU) by those with less than 20ng/L or 800 IU of vitamin D by those with levels of more than 20 ng/L. Both witnessed their vitamin D levels raise. The elevation was seen within the first 30 days of the study for those taking calcium plus vitamin D. A thought-provoking side finding in this study: It is difficult to get people to do what is suggested! Only 67 of the 106 study women followed the directions for the three months of the study! (6)
