Vitamin D: The New Wonder Nutrient?

In a recent study, individuals were able to significantly improve various parameters indicating better cardiovascular health by taking 3,320 IU of vitamin D per day during a 12 month weight loss program. Vitamin D was very effective at lowering the elevated parathyroid, a newly identified cardiovascular risk factor. Also, those taking vitamin D had significantly lower triglycerides and less of the inflammatory marker that comes from fat known as TNFa – both of these results great for cardiovascular health.

Proper vitamin D status was directly linked to better fat burning and a smaller waistline. It is likely that weight gain over the winter could be a key sign of a lack of vitamin D. You should take anywhere from 2,000 to 5,000 IU of vitamin D daily to correct the problem.

Our 5,000 IU per capsule Vitamin D3 supplement at Natural Bio Health is the most effective form of vitamin D supplementation available. You only need to take one small capsule per day to receive all the benefits of adequate vitamin D consumption.

Calcium for Fat Burning

A new study showed that taking 900 mg of calcium per day increased the ability to burn fat for fuel. This ability to burn fat is enhanced by vitamin D. Increases in calcium intake have already been shown to reduce cravings for carbohydrates; this study is interesting because it shows calcium’s ability to burn fat aside from reducing cravings.

*At Natural Bio Health, we offer a specialized form of calcium which ensures maximum absorption and metabolism potential and less negative side effects when compared to other calcium supplements. Pay close attention to the form of calcium you are taking: buffered chelazome, the form of calcium we offer, has a much higher absorption rate when compared to cheap, high calcium products such as calcium carbonate that are currently widely available.
