D3-5
by Bio-Tech
WHAT IS IT?
D3-5 is Vitamin D3 or cholecalciferol, one of the vitamin D family. Each capsule contains 5000 IU of Cholecalciferol. It contains no other ingredients.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
Vitamin D3 is necessary for the ultilization of Calcium and Phosphorus, and for the assimilation of Vitamin A. It also has a strong immune enhancing effect and controls blood pressure.
CAUTIONS
Anyone taking more than 4,000 to 10,000 IU's per day (depending upon the study) should have periodic blood tests performed to be sure that not too much Calcium is being absorbed or that kidney and liver function is not adversely affected. Underlying kidney disease is a contraindication. High doses should be taken under the supervision of a physician.

DOSE
The dose varies upon need. Cancer patients should take 2000 to 3000 IU's per day on an empty stomach along with an essential fatty acid (see
Flax oil, for example.) Everyone should get at least 15 to 30 minutes of sunshine directly on the skin at least 3 times per week. Adequate quantities of
phytochemicals from vegetables and fruits, together with
essential fatty acids, help prevent skin cancer, as does Vitamin D itself.
