The correlation between serum blood levels
of circulating vitamin D and lower risk
from many cancer lines has been well documented
over the past two decades. Scientists have
revealed the mechanism used by this powerful
pro-hormone to guide healthy DNA replication
and cellular division and to dramatically
reduce the incidence of potentially deadly
mutations. Publishing in the journal Anticancer
Research, researchers at the University
of California, San Diego School of Medicine
and Creighton University School of Medicine
have found that much higher levels
of the sunshine vitamin are necessary to
prevent or markedly reduce the incidence
of breast cancer and other chronic conditions.
The study
included nearly 5,000 men and women with
an average age of 51 over a period of 5
years. Participants answered dietary questionnaires
every six months to ascertain vitamin D
levels, vitamin D intake, and health status.
Researchers found that the vast majority
of adults need to supplement with 4,000
to 8,000 IU per day of vitamin D3 (taken
with food or as an oil-based gel cap) to
maintain sufficient levels of vitamin D
metabolites and to lower disease risk by
50%.
