Page 16 | Abby's Magazine | www.AbbysMag.com By Emerald Labs Vitamin deficiencies are commonly known throughout America and across the globe. Factors like age, gender, diet, genetics, and medications can all influence the nutrients our bodies can absorb, however, there's a new developing factor creating a larger deficiency in one key nutrient among the youth.*† Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that helps maintain and support regular bodily functions like building strong bones, immune health, and body weight. It's also one of the few vitamins we can produce on our own without supplementation. A recent study revealed that vitamin D deficiency is becoming more common in people younger than age 65. The reason? Many experts hypothesize this growing lack of Vitamin D had a lot to do with the increased time spent indoors on devices like computers, phones, and gaming consoles.* Improve O verall Health With Vitamin D Common symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency include bone loss and infection. However, research tells us that low blood levels of vitamin D have also been linked with an increased risk of all- cause mortality (death). Other symptoms may include: • Frequent illness (Tip: Vitamin D helps support immune health!)*† • Tiredness and Fatigue (Tip: Increased amounts of vitamin D have been shown to reduce fatigue)*† • Bone Pain (Tip: The body cannot absorb calcium without vitamin D)*† Spending some extra time soaking up the sun not only feels great on your skin but also allows the sunlight to penetrate the skin and converts cutaneous 7-dehydrocholesterol to pre-vitamin D3, which in turn becomes vitamin D3. This is one of the best ways to feed your body its daily dose of this essential nutrient. Try to set aside 10-20 minutes a day for a quick "sunbath" and recharge your vitamin D levels.*† Types of Vitamin D There are two primary forms of vitamin D which are vitamin D2 and vitamin D3. You can find vitamin D2 in foods like mushrooms and soy milk. Vitamin D3 is much more common and found in foods like salmon, egg yolks, and cow's milk. It's also the same type of vitamin D created by your body when exposed to sunlight. Studies have been conducted to determine which type of vitamin D is better for overall health, D2 or D3, revealing that D3 supplementation increased vitamin D levels in the body better than vitamin D2. Our in-house formulator, Dr. Mark Stengler, NMD also recommends vitamin D3 as the preferred method of supplementation paired with K2 since this also helps support bone health. Vitamin D3 helps with the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. Sufficient amounts of vitamin D are important for supporting bones and teeth, as well as overall health and wellness.* Support A Well-Rounded Immune System When searching for supplements that help support a healthy immune system, our customers also purchased: Quercetin/Zinc Bundle: 250 mg of Clinically-Proven Quercefit® for Optimized Bioabsorption and Solubility. 20X More Absorption vs. stanfard quercetin. * 25mg of pure Albion® Zinc as Glycinate Chelate, considered to be the Gold- Standard in quality minerals, for maximum bioavailability.* Deep Immune: Clinical researched forms of Coriolus Versicolor, Maitake Gold® MG 404 Mushroom Extracts plus Astragalus Extract & Meriva® Turmeric Root Extract, which is 29 times more bioavailable than standard turmeric, which may help to support the Immune Response* Elderberry + PureWay C: Therapeutic amounts of European Elderberry (10:1), 100% Pure, "Gold Standard" Zinc as Bisglycinate Chelate, and Non-GMO Project Verified PureWay-C (12-Hour Retention)* TIME INDOORS?
