News Release
Shaklee Corporation Research Suggests an Important Role of Vitamin D for Support of Cardiovascular Health
BREAKING RESEARCH SHOWS VITAMIN D LINKED TO
HDL (Good) CHOLESTEROL
 On May 1, 2009, at the National Lipid Association's Annual Scientific Sessions in Miami, FL, Shaklee presented breaking research that suggested the important role of vitamin D nutrition for maintaining cardiovascular health.
Since then, the study results have generated a lot of buzz; as Shaklee showed a new method for determining how much vitamin D is required in the form of supplementation to bring Vitamin D levels into the optimal range. This study was so well received, it was published with no changes in the Journal of Lipidology, the most prominent scientific publication in that field.
In the study, intake of vitamin D from Shaklee dietary supplements was strongly linked with vitamin D levels in the blood. The greater the intake of vitamin D from dietary supplements, the higher the amount of vitamin D found in the blood. More importantly, as vitamin D intakes increased, HDL cholesterol (or "good cholesterol") levels increased as well.
The study also showed that a lower blood vitamin D level is associated with metabolic syndrome and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease, though further research is needed to determine if vitamin D from dietary supplements can also lower risk levels for metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease, which Shaklee is now conducting.
