About Vitamin D Supplementation

Vitamin D is essential for all stages of life, from fetal development to the senior years. Many people think of vitamin D as a vitamin that helps support bone health. While this is true, vitamin D also does so much more. It helps protect many important bodily functions. Currently, the recommended daily intake of vitamin D is 400 IU. This is the amount that is necessary to protect the body against specific bone diseases; however, it is not necessarily the amount needed for optimal health. Since vitamin D is involved in so many bodily functions, many experts recommend that even healthy individuals up their intake of this vitamin. The most current research suggests that your blood levels of vitamin D should be between 32 and 80 ng/ml (25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D)).

Sunlight is one of the best sources for vitamin D, but many people aren’t able to get enough sun exposure for the body to make adequate amounts of vitamin D. Because of changes in the environment, people have developed legitimate concerns about spending too much time in the sun. This is why vitamin D supplementation is necessary for many people.

This supplement is designed to help maintain optimal levels in healthy individuals without a vitamin D deficiency. If you aren’t sure about your specific levels of vitamin D, you should visit your health care practitioner and get a vitamin D test. If you have a deficiency, you may require a larger dose of this vitamin to restore your levels to a healthy range.

The Thorne Research Difference

Certain vitamins, due to their potency, are often taken in very small doses. Vitamin D is one of these vitamins. Other suppliers will buy these micro-dose vitamins in premixed dilutions (which means that the powdered form of the vitamin is mixed with other powders that make it easier for handling). When this happens, the manufacturer loses control of the product’s quality. These premixed dilutions may contain potentially detrimental ingredients such as BHT, BHA, sorbic acid and lactose

Thorne Research promises to provide you with the purest supplements possible, so they do not buy these premixed dilutions. Instead, Thorne buys undiluted vitamins and makes its own dilutions, so the quality is controlled throughout the process.
