Breast Health Linked to Vitamin D3 Intake

Breast health is a vital concern to every woman. Studies show that higher levels of Vitamin D support breast health. Breast-D helps promote healthy breasts by providing the following:

• Vitamin D3 - Essential for the regulation of normal cell division and differentiation of breast tissue cells.  
• Calcium D-glucarate - Supports breast tissue by eliminating potentially harmful enzymes. Helps with hormone balance.   
• DIM - Found in cruciferous vegetables and promotes beneficial estrogen metabolism. 
• Green tea extract - Rich concentrations of polyphenols. 
• Lycopene acts - Potent antioxidant that provides specific benefits for breast health.

Other Supplements for the Support of Breast Health

There are other supplements that also support the breasts. Below is a list recommended by doctors for both general and breast health:

• Probiotics - "Friendly" bacteria works in your body to rid it of the bad microorganisms.  Probiotics help maintain a healthy balance in your body and fight off bacteria that can cause such problems as diarhea, irritable bowel syndrome, tooth decay, vaginal infections, stomach and respitory infections and skin disease. If you are taking an antibiotic, a probiotic is important to maintain a balance in your body.
• Fish Oil - Our bodies need fatty acids to survive. We consume too much of the bad fats and not enough of the good ones. This is one of the many reasons Fish Oil is recommended by doctors. Fish Oil has been shown to lower the risk of heart attacks, lowers triglycerides and reduces blood pressure and inflammation in the body.   
• Indole-3-Carbinol is a substance found in vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, collards, cauliflower, kale, mustard greens, turnips, and rutabagas. It can also be produced in the laboratory.
  Indole-3-Carbinol is used for prevention of breast cancer, colon cancer, and other types of cancer. The National Institutes of Health has reviewed Indole-3-Carbinol as a possible cancer preventive agent and is now sponsoring clinical research for breast cancer prevention.
  It is also used for fibromyalgia, certain types of tumors caused by a virus, abnormal cell growth in the cervix and systemic lupus erythematosus. Some people use indole-3-carbinol to balance hormone levels, "detoxify" the intestines and liver and to support the immune system. 
• We also carry Vitamin D3, Calcium with Vitamin D and DIM individually.
