Vitamin D Deficiency:

A Worldwide Problem

A Canadian Crisis

This Affects Everyone!

97 percent of Canadians are vitamin D deficient at some point in the year­ according to University of Calgary research. Worldwide­ an estimated 1 billion people don't get enough of "the sunshine vitamin".

Vitamin D Prevents Cancer:

Hundreds of studies now link vitamin D deficiency with significantly higher rates of many forms of cancer­ as well as heart disease­ osteoporosis­ multiple sclerosis and many other conditions and diseases.

How Much Do You Need?

Nobody really knows how much vitamin D humans really require. Current official recommendations range from 200-600 IU per day­ but the Canadian Cancer Society now recommends 1­000 IU per day for all Canadians. Many vitamin D researchers believe even that isn't enough.
