Bio-D-Mulsion Forte Basic concepts and physiologic function Vitamin D has a well-established role in calcium homeostasis and the maintenance of healthy bone.
Biotics' Bio-D-Mulsion has excellent absorption due to our unique emulsification process. Our previous research with emulsification showed that absorption of CoQ-10 was greatly increased by emulsification, resulting in higher serum levels at improved cost-effectiveness.
Recent articles indicate that the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is much higher than previously recognized (more than 90% in patients with chronic pain, according to a recent study published by the Mayo Clinic), and that vitamin D supplementation is much safer than previously recognized. The recent studies by Al Faraj (2003), Vieth, Chan, and MacFarlane (2001), and Heaney et al (2003) all used daily doses of 4, 000 IU per day or more with no evidence of adverse effects.
Recent articles have also suggested that vitamin D may have a role in the prevention and treatment of many chronic diseases. We are clearly on the verge of a paradigm shift with regard to our understanding and clinical use of vitamin D.
