Vit D and Breast Cancer

Increased intake of vitamin D from the diet and from sunlight may reduce the risk for breast cancer by over 20 per cent, says a new study. “This study suggests that vitamin D is associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer regardless of [estrogen-receptor (ER) positive and progesterone-receptor (PR)] status of the tumor,” wrote lead author Kristina Blackmore from Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.

Dr. Colling offers you two vitamin D products. Our Vitamin D Synergy contains 2000 IU’s of vitamin D while our Vitamin D Supreme contains 5000 IU’s of vitamin D.

Maybe now your broccoli will seem more appetizing.
Sulforaphane, a compound found in broccoli, is found to have anticarcinogenic properties due to its ability to induce expression of phase II detoxification genes.
