AMA recommends Vitamin D testing

The American Medical News, a news publication for physicians published by the American Medical Association, is encouraging physicians to perform Vitamin D testing!

Natural Vitamin D intake from both dietary sources and sunlight could be a lot less than we think, thus increasing the risk of vitamin deficiency. Therefore, testing may be an important way of uncovering Vitamin D deficiencies.

Supplementing a healthy diet with additional vitamins can help protect against vitamin deficiencies and increase vitamin levels.

Res-Q Multi is a heart-healthy multivitamin that contains Vitamin D in the form of Vitamin D3.

Vitamin D3, also called cholecalciferol, is the best form of Vitamin D because it is the same form that the human body makes. However, due to the necessity of sunscreen to protect the skin from skin cancer and damaging burns, and the long winter months spent inside, our bodies may not be making enough.
