Anti Aging Vitamin D - Shocking New Studies

Chances are, by now you've heard SOMETHING about the anti aging benefits of Vitamin D. The miraculous vitamin has been in the news quite a bit recently - particularly Vitamin D3.

If you haven't heard about the benefits of Vitamin D, here is a brief list:

• inhibits inflammation (major cause of aging)
• maintains calcium balance
• helps to regulate blood pressure
• boosts your immunity
• protects against some cancers (mainly colon)

There are lots of other research studies being done with additional benefits discovered all the time.

But here is some controversial news about Vitamin D you may NOT know:

Fact: Your body produces Vitamin D naturally with sun exposure.

What you don't know:

• Wearing sunscreen inhibits Vitamin D production.
• You may be deficient in Vitamin if you are dark skinned or tan because its absorption is inhibited with too much melalin.
• Vitamin D deficiency can occur if you are over 40 because production of Vitamin D from the sun slows down as we age.
• Heavy people will need more Vitamin D than thin people.

Fact: Most sunscreens actually block the rays that produce Vitamin D. Amazingly, the occurance of cancer has increased since the use of sunscreen has increased!

What You Don't Know: It turns out that since Vitamin D3 protects against some cancers, by inhibiting the sunshine from sunscreen, we are actually increasing our cancer rate.

The American Dermatology Association is outraged to think anyone suggests that people go out in the sun without sunscreen.

Fact: The government recommends 400 units of Vitamin D per day

What You Don't Know: Most research indicates that 4,000 units per day is needed.

Vitamin D poisioning can occur if you take too much, but the incidences are actually pretty rare. Get tested first to see if you are deficient.
