Q: When do I need to take Vitamin D Plus?
The best way to get vitamin D is from direct sunlight every day, and you should always aim for that first.
If you aren’t able to get 20-30 minutes of sunlight every day (with no sunscreen) and additional vitamin D in your diet, then take Vitamin D Plus daily. Check with your medical practitioner to get your D tested, and aim for levels at or above 60 ng/ml.
The sun is less strong in winter months and in northern latitudes, plus cold weather often means less time outdoors. Even pollution in your city can affect the amount of sunlight you get when outdoors. These additional factors increase the likelihood of vitamin D deficiency.
Q: Can I get enough Vitamin D with food?
Ideally, only about 10% of your daily vitamin D should come from what you eat. In reality, many people rely on their food to provide a much bigger portion. That means you need plenty of vitamin D-rich foods like fatty fish, beef liver, mushrooms, cheese and other dairy, and egg yolks.
If you have reached the point where you are vitamin D deficient, it’s essential for you to supplement, since food alone can’t replenish levels quickly enough.
Q: How does Vitamin D Plus differ from Shine On™ D3+K?
While both products contain the same clinically relevant amount of vitamin D itself, Vitamin D Plus is a superior formulation with higher amounts of vitamins K1 and K2, as well as medium-chain triglycerides for better absorption in the body. It also contains geranylgeraniol to provide additional support for the bone, immune, and cardiovascular health that vitamin D promotes.*
Research suggests that combined supplementation of both vitamins D & K may be more supportive than either vitamin alone for bone health and cardiovascular health.
Warning: Due to the inclusion of vitamin K in this product, use caution when prescribing Vitamin D Plus products for patients who are taking Coumadin, warfarin, or other anticoagulant medications.
