Both Easy and Beneficial to Raise Vitamin D Levels

It is a world-wide epidemic: vitamin D deficiency. 14 in every 100 people around the world 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 wide assortment of diseases. Raising vitamin D levels is beneficial and easy…if vitamin D supplementation is taken. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office encourages our Groton chiropractic patients to check and improve as necessary their vitamin D levels. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is certain that positive health benefits will follow from this effort.

DISEASES LINKED TO LOW VITAMIN D LEVELS

A widespread vitamin D deficiency is associated with many diseases. The incidence of cancers like breast, colorectal, kidney, lung, and pancreatic is associated with low vitamin D levels. Diabetes, rickets, rheumatic arthritis, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer diseases, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, and fractures in adults are too. (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-connected to vitamin D status and bone mineral density. (3) It responds well to vitamin D3 supplementation. Checking the occurrence of osteopenia/osteoporosis in these patients is the test as to the success of the treatment. (4) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office notes that this is interesting as these two conditions are also identified as being affected by vitamin D status as well. Groton chiropractic care at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office benefits Groton chiropractic patients with these conditions.

BENEFITS OF RAISING 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 level dose of vitamin D (1000 units/kg I.P.) to post-surgical back patients on day one through day 21 alleviates symptoms of neuropathic pain. (5) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office sees how these benefits are worth the work our Groton chiropractic patients would accept to raise low vitamin D levels.

HOW TO RAISE VITAMIN D LEVELS

A study of healthy young women revealed that consuming calcium plus vitamin D (1500 IU) by those with less than 20ng/L or 800 IU of vitamin D by those with levels of greater than 20 ng/L. Both saw their vitamin D levels raise. The rise was seen as early as the first month of the study for those taking calcium plus vitamin D. An interesting side observation in this study: It’s difficult to get people to do what is suggested! Only 67 of the 106 study participants followed the directions for the 3 months of the study! (6)
