Vitamin D3 with K & Zinc, Quercetin, plant based vitamin C & antioxidants
This is a good supplement. Most people are deficient in vitamin D. 5,000 IU is a safe dose. This form of vitamin D (3)/cholecalciferol is bioavailable. Vitamin D3 helps the body sequester calcium in the blood and deposit it. Now, depositing calcium sounds like a good thing--and it can be. But, depositing calcium in blood vessels or organs causes plaques to develop... you don't want that. So, that's why it is very important to always take vitamin D3 with vitamin K. Vitamin K, as phytonadione, methoquinone-7, and methoquinone-4 signal the vitamin D to deposit back into the bones. This is important, especially for people who have/are at risk of osteoporosis (porous bones--lacking calcium). The extra bonus of this supplement is the added zinc gluconate. 30 mg is a safe daily dose. This zinc is a more bioavailable form of zinc. We have learned in recent years how essential vitamin D & zinc are to immune health, specifically the ever-circulating pandemic-inducing retrovirus. Zinc is a virus killer! It has difficult time crossing the cell wall without the help of an ionophore. Some zinc ionophores include vitamin C, quercetin, quinine. The added zinc in this formulation with quercetin, black elderberry extract (vitamin C), turmeric root powder (multiple antioxidants, including vitamin C), echinacea extract (powerful immunomodulator), & ginger root extract (digestive aid) make this a synergistic formulation that will help boost the immune system and help the body fight many infections, viral and bacterial. I was looking for a new vit D with K supplement. This XGold Health has a perfect combo to help keep you healthy. I've taken lots of vitamin D supplements. I always take it in the morning to simulate sun exposure (I live in the Midwest, so the UVB rays don't reach this latitude to produce adequate vitamin D naturally). I normally experience deeper sleep when I take vitamin D. That's one way I know it's working for me. I notice my sleep is more interrupted when I miss a dose. "Vitamin D" is not a true vitamin, it is more of a raw material for all hormone production, essential for regulating every biochemical process in the body. So, despite the medical community's silence on the issue, it is absolutely essential that people get vitamin D in an available form & never be deficient. Most people are deficient if they live above 30 degree latitude because vitamin D-producing UVB rays are shorter & make up only 5% of the sun's rays. The inverse is that too much UVB radiation can cause skin cancer. Supplementing vitamin D3 is a safe means of protecting your immune system & your skin. The medium-sized capsule is tasteless, easy to swallow, & once a day dosing. The bottle should last four months. Worth it! Read more
