Weight Loss: Be Therapeutic in Your Vitamin D Levels!

Vitamin D can seriously help with weightloss! Besides me being living proof of it, there are enormous studies that prove that Vitamin D has many receptor sites that have been found within our body tissues, organs, muscles, vessels, heart, brain, and our "Fat!"  When we are therapeutic in Vitamin D the benefits are enormous on so many levels.

Who wound't want to take Vitamin D for weightloss?  Dr. Holick states the "Normal Levels" of Vitamin D are anything above 50ng/ml of blood. If you fall under this level, you are seriously deficient, and should speak with your doctor about replacement and achieving therapeutic ranges. My Level was 44 recently, and I take 10,000 IU everday if not more.  I am not happy with this number, just because my daily intake can sometimes exceed that dose. However, being fat, Vitamin D locks itself inside the fat and doesn't allow it to circulate as metabolically active as someone of normal weight. That is why everyone should start by getting a level drawn. It has many implications in our health and longevity when we are deficient! 

First, you want to get a 25-hydroxyvitamin D blood level drawn and work with your doctor to replace you, and then follow-up obviously in at least three months thereafter. For those that don't have insurance, or would rather bypass the system:  LifeExtension reported by Dr. Holick; that anyone can call 1-800-208-3444 and order their own 25-hydroxyvitamin D blood test for $47.00. They will tell you what lab to go to in your surrounding area and you could, either update you primary M.D. of your level and have him tell you how much to dose with, or find out from "LifeExtension.com" what you should be taking to replace and when to recheck. 

The thing about "Fat" is that by taking Vitamin D it goes to the fat first; fat is active in that it isn't just a "blob" it performes tasks too, and the more you have of fat the more receptor sites within the fat cells take up the Vitamin D... and there the "Vitamin D" is locked up in the fat and not available in the body for the other cells to utilize. That is why it is more difficult to increase your levels without proper monitoring.

Fat does utilize Vitamin D! It actually will produce the Hormone Leptin once all the "Fat Receptor Sites" are filled, and then you will have more control over your hunger far better than when you were deficient. Also, Vitamin D helps enable all other hormones, minerals, and vitamins to perform their jobs!  This doesn't by any means obliterate the fact that we need a variety of   supplements and minerals to maintain health, but without Vitamin D the rest aren't able to perform their job. 

Current studies, and there are many revealing over 2500 receptor sites within or bodies, muscles tissue, skin cells, vessel wall cells, brain cells, fat cells, and they are still unveiling more receptor sites for D.

REMEMBER: VITAMIN "D"COMPETES FOR THE SAME RECEPTOR SITE AS VITAMIN "A" YOU WANT TO WATCH THE RATIO AND TIMING OF TAKING THE TWO TOGETHER OR VITAMIN D IS A MOOT POINT!
