Vitamin D may help Curb Heart Disease
New research published in the
June 9 issue of Archives of Internal
Medicine links low levels of vitamin D --
the "sunshine vitamin" -- with a higher risk
of heart attack in men.
Studies have shown spikes in heart
disease-related deaths at higher latitudes
and during the winter months - areas and
times of less daylight -- and decreases in
such deaths at lower latitudes and during
the summer.
The researchers learned that men who had
vitamin D levels of 15 ng/mL or less in their
blood samples -- an indication of vitamin D
deficiency -- had an increased risk for
heart attack compared to those whose
vitamin D level was considered sufficient
(30 ng/mL). The twofold increased risk
remained significant even when adjusting
for other factors known to contribute to
heart disease, such as high cholesterol,
diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family
history of heart disease.
Men with intermediate levels of vitamin D
also were more likely to have a heart
attack than those with adequate vitamin D
levels.

Dr Eisenstein's
comments:
To achieve the
benefits of Vitamin D3 (i.e.
reduce your risk of breast cancer,
diabetes, lower your
chance of
heart attacks, rheumatoid arthritis, or
multiple
sclerosis), I recommend that you
have a
minimum daily intake of Vitamin D3
(2000 IU).
All of the
Homefirst® Mens and Womens
Multivitamins with Probiotics contain 2000
IU of
Vitamin D3 to meet this daily need.
Homefirst® Multivitamins with Probiotics
Now With 2000IU of Vitamin D3
Dr. Eisenstein has formulated four
customized natural multi-vitamins and
minerals. Each is specific for the unique
needs of men, women, children and
pregnancy.
Each vitamin comes
in an
easy to swallow
capsule (not a rock hard pill like most
natural vitamins) .
Dr. Eisenstein's statement on
Probiotics: "We
do not get enough friendly bacteria in our
diet, therefore, I take and recommend a
daily
supplement of Probiotics
for
everybody-including men, women and
children
of all ages, as well as pregnant and nursing
mothers.
Now all
of the
Homefirst® Men's and Women's
Multivitamins with Probiotics contain
