DID YOU KNOW that a new study from Nutrition Reviews shows that vitamin D2, the source often recommend by physicians through prescription, may actually reduce vitamin D3 levels?


Vitamin D is available in two main supplement forms: D2 and D3. The researchers observed that when individuals take vitamin D2, it can cause a decline in vitamin D3 levels. Unlike D2, vitamin D3 is the type that the body naturally makes when exposed to sunlight, and it is also the form most efficient at boosting overall vitamin D status.


The results showed that people taking vitamin D2 experienced reduced vitamin D3 levels compared with those who did not take D2 supplements. In several cases, vitamin D3 levels dropped even lower than in the group that took no vitamin D at all!


If you have a vitamin D2 prescription or supplement, switch to vitamin D3 as soon as possible.

DID YOU KNOW that a new scientific statement on inflammation from the American College of Cardiology confirms the value of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) in clinical decision-making by stressing the importance of universal screening of the biomarker in both primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease?


The statement, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, provides consensus recommendations for screening, evaluation, and risk assessment for cardiovascular disease; inflammatory biomarkers in cardiovascular imaging; inflammation inhibition in behavioral and lifestyle risks; and anti-inflammatory approaches in primary and secondary prevention, as well as in heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases.


This is great to see. Now tell your doctors to screen for it routinely like we have for 15 years!

DID YOU KNOW that hormone replacement therapy, most commonly available as transdermal gels and creams to correct male and female hormone deficiencies, are causing unintended consequences?


Hormone residues can remain on the skin after application and be transferred through direct or indirect contact, posing a risk to close contacts. Cases of elevated hormone levels in those not taking hormone therapy are on the rise.


Washing the application site can reduce the residual gel content from 60% to 15%. Most apply the hormones in the morning or before bed. Keep the product in a drawer away from your partner so the residue does not touch other toiletries. You can also apply the gels/creams with the heel of your hand instead of fingers to reduce transmission. Also, wait to apply until after close contact activities are completed.
