Product Information

If you have risk factors for developing vitamin D deficiency or are experiencing symptoms, be sure to contact your healthcare provider to get a blood test to check your levels. Taking 60,000 international units (IU) a day of vitamin D for several months has been shown to cause toxicity. The production of vitamin D 3 in skin is a function of the amount of UVB radiation reaching the dermis as well as the availability of 7-dehydrocholesterol ( Holick, 1995). If you’re concerned about whether you’re getting enough vitamin D or if your body is using it properly, talk to your provider. Delaying treatment with an antibiotic that has been proven to be effective for treating an active UTI can result in the infection spreading into the kidneys and blood.

E. coli, the cause of approximately ninety percent of all urinary tract infections, is a well-studied, acid-tolerant bacterium that is naturally present in the human intestine, even in new-born babies.Existing evidence suggests that vitamin D nutriture does not appear to affect the maternal processes of bone resorption that occur during lactation, nor its restoration post-lactation. The efficient absorption of vitamin D is dependent upon the presence of fat in the lumen, which triggers the release of bile acids and pancreatic lipase ( Weber, 1981, 1983). A unique aspect of vitamin D as a nutrient is that it can be synthesized by the human body through the action of sunlight. Exogenous calcitriol can suppress autoimmune diseases, but with hypercalcemia as an important side effect ( DeLuca and Cantorna, 2001).

The dm+d is a dictionary of descriptions and codes which represent medicines and devices in use across the NHS.The potential for vitamin D supplements to improve bone strength has attracted growing interest in recent years, based on vitamin D’s role in promoting bone mineralisation.

People with darker skin, or those with light skin who minimize exposure to sunlight, are also at risk.

After you consume foods or supplements containing D-mannose, your body eventually eliminates it through the kidneys and into the urinary tract. Uptake into adipose tissue and skeletal muscle accounts for the rapid postprandial disappearance of vitamin D from plasma and probably also explains why increased adiposity causes sequestering of vitamin D and is associated with lower 25OHD levels ( Jones, 2008).
