October 10, 2008, Newsletter Issue #137: A Good Heart Disease Vitamin

Tip of the Week

Many researchers believe vitamin D shows extreme promise in the treatment and prevention of heart disease. This heart disease vitamin is converted from sunlight in our bodies, and many people, especially as they grow older, suffer from a deficiency of vitamin D. Physicians believe this contributes greatly to heart disease.

Vitamin D deficiency can lead to hypertension, high cholesterol, and other factors that can lead to heart disease. This vitamin is readily available, and supplements ranging as high as 5,000 mgs are available over the counter and online. Many experts now believe that doses of 3,000 to 5,000 mg per day are not excessive, especially in the fall, winter, and spring, and that recommended doses of 400 to 500 mg a day are simply inadequate for our health and wellness needs.

This heart disease vitamin is not readily available in most foods, so taking a supplement is the best way to help ensure your health and heart disease well being.
