How much vitamin D do you really need?
We recently received a question about the vitamin D3 dose in our Optimum DK Formula. The reader was wondering if the 5,000 IUs of vitamin D was “too much,” especially considering that her doctors have told her not to take more than 2,000 IUs of vitamin D per day and that research from Harvard indicated the upper-level max was 4,000 IUs.

These can either make or break your health
If you went to the doctor and reported having insomnia, chances are good you’d walk out with a prescription for sleeping pills. Or if you mentioned feeling depressed, you may get an antidepressant.

And all I could think to myself is, “Fear is an excellent marketing tactic.”...

According to the International Osteoporosis Foundation, osteoporosis and low bone mass affect approximately 54 million women and men over the age of 50 in the US. What’s even more unsettling is that 54 million number represents the majority of all people aged 50 and older living in the US!
