Why does Cal-EZ contain 1000 i.u. of Vitamin D3?
Vitamin D is necessary for effective absorption of calcium. It helps deposit calcium in bones and teeth, helps maintain adequate blood levels of calcium and phosphorus and plays a key role in supporting the immune system. The Vitamin D in Cal-EZ – Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) – is easily converted into the most potent and active form of Vitamin D in the human body. While 400 i.u. has been the usual daily dose of Vitamin D, recently completed studies indicate that higher levels can help lower the risk of osteoporosis, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis and many types of cancer, as well as help regulate blood pressure, improve muscle pain and weakness and ease the symptoms of PMS and psoriasis. Daily Vitamin D doses up to 2000 i.u. are completely safe.
