Two Vitamins that Stand Out

James Meschino, D.C. wrote the following in the Dynamic Chiropractic (a trade journal for chiropractors)…

A recent article by Drs. A.S. Plant and G. Tisman published in Nutrition and Cancer, highlights the emerging evidence that links suboptimal nutritional status of vitamin B-12 and Vitamin D with increased risk of cancer.

Previous studies have shown that low serum levels of vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D) are associated with a higher frequency of at least 17 different malignancies, including breast, colon, and prostate, ovarian and other cancers

Vitamin B-12 deficiency has been associated with an increased risk of breast cancer.

Many consumers are confused about taking vitamins from not knowing which kind to take, what types to take and in what amounts. Sometimes if you go to a nutrition store and ask about vitamins you often purchase more than you need.

Many factors must be considered when purchasing vitamins such as whether you are male/female, old/young, current health status, genetic predisposition, your job, your lifestyle and your health goals.

Don’t fall for the latest cure-all. If you are going to spend your hard-earned money then spend it wisely and completely research your specific vitamin needs.
