Neurosurgeon Introduces New Pharmaceutical-Grade Vitamin D3 Supplement
VitaminD3PruTect from Dr. Chad Prusmack Counteracts Vitamin D Deficiencies
Highlands Ranch, CO, May 23, 2012 --(PR.com)-- VitaminD3PruTect is a new pharmaceutical-grade Vitamin D3 supplement that stimulates bone growth by stimulating the absorption of calcium. For the estimated 17% of the global population estimated to be deficient in Vitamin D, VitaminD3PruTect helps to minimize the risk of premature death in elderly patients, osteomalacia/rickets and MS.
According to neurosurgeon and founder of PruTectRx, Dr. Chad Prusmack, MD, “The body needs at least 4,000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily—just a few drops, yet it has been estimated that almost 1 billion people are vitamin D deficient according to the article, Factors Influencing Vitamin D Status by Tsiaras & Weinstock.” Prusmack adds, “This is especially true for Caucasian and Asian females. Unless you live in the tropics or receive at least 15 minutes of direct sunlight on the hands and face, twice a week, only supplements like VitaminD3PruTect deliver the amount of Vitamin D3, especially in the winter months when a lack of sunlight directly reduces bone density.”
Prusmack goes on to say, “Most vitamin and minerals formulas only contain about 800 IU, so you need to look for Vitamin D3 supplements with at least 1,000 IU in each drop when in liquid form. Four drops cover your daily requirement. In this way, one dropper bottle typically contains 1,500 drops (2 ounces or 60 mL), which will cover one's daily needs for up to a year.”
VitaminD3PruTect is the fifth product in the new pharmaceutical-grade supplement PruTect Series, developed by Head Neurosurgeon to the Denver Broncos and Rocky Mountain Spinal Clinic, Dr. Chad Prusmack, M.D. ProteinPruTect is now available exclusively on Dr. Prusmack’s website, www.PruTectRx.com.
Vitamin D Deficiency
While the skin makes vitamin D, many things affect the degree to which its biosynthesis occurs, including time of day, seasons, location, smog/pollution, clothing, shade of skin (darker skin requires more sun), and sunscreen use. Low-cholesterol diets and cholesterol lowering drugs can also inhibit adequate vitamin D formation.
A diet deficient in Vitamin D leads to a softening of the bones, called osteomalacia in adults and rickets in children. Vitamin D deficiency is also suspected of leading to high rates of influenza in winter.
Reversing deficiency and maintaining optimal serum vitamin D levels beneficially impacts biochemistry and numerous body systems; this is largely because calcitriol—the metabolic product of vitamin D—is a secosteroid hormone that targets over 200 genes in a wide variety of tissues. As the research demonstrates, vitamin D is clearly imperative for the development, growth, and maintenance of a healthy body from gestation to senescence.
Vitamin D2 vs. D3
Vitamin D3 is the identical form of vitamin D derived in the body from cholesterol and synthesized by sunlight on the skin. In the study, Vitamin D3 Is More Potent Than Vitamin D2 in Humans by Heaney, Recker, Grote, Horst & Armas, Vitamin D3 has been demonstrated to be three times as potent as vitamin D2. Much recent evidence suggests that vitamin D intakes well above current recommendations may be associated with significantly better health outcomes.
For elderly people, with elderly women dependent on institutional care in particular, low levels of vitamin D have been linked with premature death, as covered in the article Vitamin D Supplementation for Prevention of Mortality in Adults by G. Bjelakovic, L.L. Gluud, Whitfield, Wetterslev, Simonetti, M. Bjelakovic & C. Gludd. Vitamin D3 has been shown to minimize this risk, while vitamin D2 as well as alfacalcidol and calcitriol have been found to be ineffective.
It has been reported in the Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy that taking too much vitamin D can cause abnormal functioning and premature again. However, this is at levels of 50,000 IU per day when taken for several months. The recommended amount of vitamin D3 is 5,000 IU per day—10% of harmful levels and well within safety.
Bone Health
The body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium, and the importance of vitamin D in skeletal health and bone density is well established. Although bone density is most often associated with calcium intakes, insufficient vitamin D negatively affects calcium absorption. Without adequate absorption, the body must take calcium from its stores in the skeleton, which weakens existing bone and prevents the formation of strong, new bone. Clinical research, such as the article Vitamin D in Health and Disease by Dr. Robert P. Heaney, shows that taking vitamin D orally with calcium supplements can support healthy bone turnover, and adequate calcium and vitamin D throughout life—as part of a well-balanced diet—may reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
Multiple Sclerosis Prevention
Low levels of vitamin D have been linked with MS-multiple sclerosis, which could be avoided with vitamin D3 supplementation—as concluded in the article Vitamin D and Multiple Sclerosis by Ascherio, Munger & Simon.
