Vitamin D3, K, L-arginine Plus & the Parathyroid Gland

With the winter months now in full force, most people in the northern hemisphere suffer from the lack of sunshine and synthetization of vitamin D. The good summer we’ve had mean many people’s vitamin D levels are still quite high. As the winter months kick in these levels soon dissipate. It is important therefore to supplement your vitamin D3 levels during the winter with a good dietary regime and supplementation such as l-arginine Plus. This helps prevent the onset of diseases such as osteoporosis and secondary hyperthyroidism.

Vitamin D3 in food and supplements

A registered osteopath, Nadia Alibhai on ‘The Morning Show‘ recently spoke about this very thing. She said the first port of call is to improve your vitamin D3 through food intake such as ‘oily fish, salmon, sardine, maceral, mushrooms, egg yolk, liver and red meat all high in boosting levels of vitamin D’. Along with a good diet, supplementation is necessary to help maintain the perfect balance.

L-arginine Plus in preventing an overactive parathyroid gland

Supplementations with vitamin D3 and K are preferable. This is because as Nadia says the combination that ‘helps bring the calcium into the bones’. Indeed, without this there is a danger calcium can end up getting into the walls of the blood vessels which can cause hypercalcemia, a condition causing weakening of the bones. Furthermore, this can affect the function of the parathyroid gland. This often-overlooked gland works to regulate the amount of calcium in the blood stream. Severe vitamin D3 deficiency is a main cause of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Ensuring good vitamin D3 levels is essential.
