Vitamin D deficiency is now a pandemic. This vitamin is actually a hormone that effects several hundred genes in our body. That means it plays a role in keeping our bones strong, works with keeping our immune system working optimally, helps our nervous system to work efficiently to name a few things. A simple blood test can determine your level of the vitamin. Research shows that 5,000 IU a day is safe dosage for most adults. Remember that taking higher amounts is not always better. Get tested and start taking this remarkable vitamin. Follow up testing can determine if your levels are increasing.

Elevation in the amino acid homocysteine has been linked to an increased incidence of many chronic diseases. Studies show that this chemical may be linked to cognitive decline. Supplementing with B vitamins, especially B6, B12 and folic acid maybe an effective tool in the management of brain atrophy. Ask your physician about testing your homocysteine levels.
