Bio-D-Mulsion 1 oz

Does your body tend to have trouble absorbing nutrients from capsules, tablets, or even food? If you suffer from malabsorption issues common among Crohn’s disease and cystic fibrosis patients, you may not be getting enough vitamin D.

Despite calcium getting most of the hype, many dairy products nowadays are fortified with vitamin D because of its positive effect on the development of strong bones—it’s responsible for allowing the body to properly absorb calcium, as well as phosphorous. Vitamin D is also in eggs, fish, and cod liver oil. Without enough of it, your immune system weakens and leaves you susceptible to multiple sclerosis and other serious illnesses.

Vitamin D is commonly called the “sunshine vitamin,” because your skin’s inner layers develop it with the help of ultraviolet rays. However, too much unprotected sun exposure can result in melanoma and other skin cancers; it’s also difficult to get enough if you live in areas with colder climates and/or air pollution. Today’s long work hours indoors may also contribute to a lack of the vitamin. Obese individuals and the elderly are also at risk for low vitamin D levels.

Why is a lack of this vitamin a major problem? According to health experts, vitamin D deficiency may even contribute to cancer and poor cardiovascular health.

Bio-D-Mulsion contains vitamin D-3, a form of the vitamin otherwise known as cholecalciferol, in an oral drop form. Biotics Research has manufactured this supplement in an emulsified form with easy-to-absorb microscopic particles.

It’s especially suited to kids, because Bio-D-Mulsion is virtually tasteless. You can mix it into yogurt, smoothies, or other foods so they get the amount needed to prevent rickets, a condition that causes skeletal deformities.

Since the ideal dosage is just one drop on your tongue per day, this 1-ounce bottle should last you a long time.
