Vitamin D has amazing transformative powers.
For years, many people have looked to Vitamin C for both skin care and its immune system boosting capabilities, but Vitamin D is even more formidable in terms of immune health. Many people commonly associate D with laying out in the sun, but we have partnered with the Dole Nutrition Institute and have found a new inside-out approach to Vitamin D sufficiency that does not include the risks of sun damage.
When talking about beauty, most people automatically think of what you see on the surface. While topically applying products to the surface is a vital step to a healthy glow, the layers of your skin that you can touch and feel are all dead, so we need to come at them from both the surface and below. With a topical application of Vitamin D, you can get an even, glowing skin tone and help improve rosacea, acne, and hyperpigmentation, among other skin conditions. Over time, with the immune boosting capabilities of Vitamin D, the live skin tissue becomes healthier, so by the time that it reaches the surface, skin is healthier with better immune defenses.
Less than 1% of what we ingest makes its way to the skin, so your Vitamin D intake cannot be solely dependent on what you eat. Most people are so deficient that putting on a topical Vitamin D needs to be accompanied by an extra boost of Vitamin D from a whole food source. Supplements can help, but because they are a chemical replication, our bodies can only absorb a percentage of the amount we ingest. With a whole food source, your body can retain and use more of the vitamins that you are eating.
Vitamin D deficiency is a huge problem that affects 1 billion people worldwide. Deficiency may be linked to cancer, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, autoimmune diseases, bone loss, psoriasis, eczema, asthma, and others. Becoming Vitamin D sufficient can help with more than an even skin tone; it can help save your life. This vitamin has an amazing ability to make us healthier inside and out.
