Vitamin D and Tissue Protection

getty-images-tTWkQ9NofOk-unsplash

I learned something new from reading this research paper. The inside of the vitamin D3 cell has anti-tumor action. I knew vitamin D had protective properties, but it is the nucleus of the vitamin D cell that takes action.

The vitamin D receptor is present in normal mammary tissue (breast gland). What this does is act as a tumor suppressor gene. Vitamin D receptors regulate energy metabolism, reduce inflammation, and differentiate good cells from bad cells. The researchers suggest that breast cells produce receptors that maintain vitamin D levels in the breast tissue, and when these receptors stop working properly, deregulated cancer has a higher rate of development.

A similar article on colon cancer and vitamin D

Researchers found that vitamin D inhibits the genes of colon cancer-associated fibroblasts, giving it an anti-tumor effect.

A. Get some sun

B. Take your vitamin D supplements. The highest increase in vitamin D levels we have seen at the office after a summer of being in the sun only had a 10-point elevation in their levels.. All of us need supplementation.

C. Get your vitamin D tested. You need to know that you are taking the right amount. Too little is no good, and too much causes calcium to leave the bones.

Absorption of vitamin D depends on the health of the intestine. Some people can absorb vitamin D in d3cellguardmany forms, and some cannot. We use the Perque D3 Cell Guard, which is in rosemary oil. This way you will absorb more than half of it in the mouth and the intestine will absorb the rest.
