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 people worldwide. (2) Low vitamin D status is linked to a wide range of diseases. Improving vitamin D levels is beneficial and easy…if vitamin D supplementation is taken. Chiropractic Solutions encourages our San Jose chiropractic patients to know and improve as necessary their vitamin D levels. Chiropractic Solutions is certain that positive health benefits will result from this effort.
DISEASES RELATED 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 plays a key role 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) Vitamin D3 supplementation is effective in its care. Checking the occurrence of osteopenia/osteoporosis in these patients is the test as to the success of the treatment. (4) Chiropractic Solutions notes that this is interesting as these two conditions are also known to be affected by vitamin D status too. San Jose chiropractic care at Chiropractic Solutions benefits San Jose 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) Giving a daily same dose of vitamin D (1000 units/kg I.P.) to post-surgical back patients on day one through day 21 eases symptoms of neuropathic pain. (5) Chiropractic Solutions acknowledges how these benefits are worth the effort our San Jose chiropractic patients would accept to elevate 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 increase. The rise was witnessed in the first month of the study for those taking calcium plus vitamin D. An interesting side observation in this study: It’s hard to get people to do what is suggested! Only 67 of the 106 study participants did what they were to do for the 3 months of the study! (6)
