Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) 5000 IU, Supplements, Deficiencies, Source - Dose

Vitamin D has long provided significant support for healthy bone density. Over the past years, however, scientists have validated the critical role that vitamin D plays in regulating cell division and differentiation. These new findings link a deficiency of vitamin D to a host of common age-related maladies and side effects. As a result of this new research and startling evidence of widespread vitamin D deficiency, prominent nutritional scientists are calling on Americans to increase their vitamin D intake to 1000 IU per day and higher. The current RDA, however, is only 400 IU.

Vitamin D3 is synthesized in the body from sunlight. However, the winter season, weather conditions, and sunblock products inhibit your body's ability to produce optimal levels of vitamin D. All of these factors point to the value of taking a daily supplement to ensure optimal vitamin D3 intake.

For those who need to take very high doses of vitamin D3 and are under a physician's supervision, Life Extension now makes available a 5000 IU vitamin D3 supplement.

Supplement Facts: Serving Size - 1 tablet. Servings Per Container - 60
Amount Per Serving
Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol)	5000 IU

Other Ingredients: Dicalcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, silica, and corn. This product contains NO milk, egg, fish, peanuts, crustacean shellfish, soybeans, tree nuts, wheat, yeast, gluten, or rice, artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors, or preservatives.

Dosage and Use: Take one capsule daily with a fat containing, low fiber meal, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.

Caution: Large doses (1400-2000 IU/day) may cause hypercalcemia, a decrease in renal function, and nephrocalcinosis. Monthly blood tests to monitor serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels should be done to protect against these health issues. Those with underlying kidney disease should avoid high doses of vitamin D3. Although some research indicates that dosages up to 10,000 IU/day are safe, staying below 2000 IU/day may be prudent. Concerning hypercalcemia, consider the fact that consuming magnesium, calcium, and D3 are synergistic (work much better together than when taken singly). People with hypercalcemia have side effects that may be addressed by correcting/adjusting their overall nutrient intake/profile. In other words, most people walking this planet are grossly undernourished. In addition, consider the fact that approximately 20 minutes of midday sun exposure (at least 40% of skin exposed) equates to absorbing approximately 20,000 IU into the typical Caucasian body. Those with darker skin require significantly more exposure to get the same effect.
