Livethesource Had Another Ace Up It's Sleeve

Livethesource continues to amaze me, last night I was privileged to be on a Livethesource health and nutrition conference call. It was insane in the begining you couldn't hear the speakers because so many people were beeping onto the call, more phone lines had to be opened up to let additional people on who wanted to listen to the world's foremost authority on vitamin D,

Drum roll please....... Dr. Michael F. Holick. Yes, you heard me right, I said Dr. Michael Holick was on the livethesource health and nutrition conference call last night. How Ted Farnsworth pulled this off is beyond me but livethesource does have the premier patented nano encapsulated vitamin D product in the world. My family and I use it and it's amazing. 
Here are Dr. Holick's credentials if some of you are unfamiliar with who he is and what he has done.

Michael F. Holick, PhD, MD
Professor of Medicine, Physiology and Biophysics
Director of the General Clinical Research Center
Director of the Vitamin D, Skin and Bone Research Laboratory
Director, Biologic Effects of Light Research Center
Boston University Medical Center

It was amazing to hear that Dr. Holick's vitamin D research was actually condemned and ridiculed for almost 30 years.  But now there is so much other research to back up his studies and so many other  doctors and scientists have gotten on the vitamin D bandwagon during the past five years.  Dr. Holick has gone from the court jester of vitamin D to a world-class genius.

Here are just a few vitamin D facts and then after I post this article I will put out another with more details on vitamin D and how it affects our health.

What's interesting is vitamin D. is not a vitamin, but it's a hormone and what makes it so unique is that it's actually made in the skin, as it's exposed to sunlight.  So that's all well and good and everybody should have enough vitamin D in their bodies.  Right?

Wrong!  what we learned is that you only need 15 to 20 minutes of sunlight a day to make vitamin D.  What most people don't know is that you have to get that sunlight during specific times of the day to really be effective.

It says on Dr. Holick's website that "An analysis of the NHANES III data has demonstrated that neither children nor adults are receiving an adequate amount of vitamin D from their diet or from supplements."

That was quite an eye-opening statement that I read on his website. did you see where it says.  Not getting enough vitamin D from their diet or from supplements.

Many people think that if they're taking a supplement their vitamin and mineral intake should be fine. As you can see that's not always the case. 

  We've known for years that we are not getting the vitamins and minerals we need in our diets and we aren't getting the good supplementation we need from cheap off the shelf vitamins either....why? because of the absorption rate of typical vitamins and mineral supplements. Learn more about the vitamin D and absorption rate. At this link vitamin absorption rate.

One final thought. Dr. Holick has an incredible new book out called "The Vitamin D Solution" it's a three step strategy to cure our most common health problems. The book is also forwarded by Dr. Andrew Weil and I'm sure you know who Dr. Weil is. 

this book is so hot right now, that most bookstores don't have it in stock, because it sold out.  The best place to get a copy of the book is at Amazon.com and 98% of the customers that rated the book on Amazon gave the book it's highest possibe rating of 5 stars. Here is a link so you can check it out  The Vitamin D Solution: A 3-Step Strategy to Cure Our Most Common Health Problem
