Dr. Ira's Vitamin D 10,000 IU iSupplement supports the absorption and utilization of Calcium and Phosphorus. It is required for bone and teeth formation, maintaining a stable nervous system and normal heart action. Vitamin D is well known for the role it plays in helping to regulate calcium and bone metabolism. As we age, Vitamin D status declines. If given the same amount of light, a younger person can produce more Vitamin D compared with an older individual. When advancing age is combined with decreased sunlight exposure one can quickly become deficient in vitamin D.
Vitamin D can increase the expression of osteocalcin and other important compounds from osteoblasts to help support bone formation. It can help to breakdown bone and mobilize calcium when it is needed elsewhere in the body. Numerous scientists now feel that supplementation with Vitamin D at levels greater than previously thought is critical to helping maintain healthy bone remodeling as we age.
