More evidence that vitamin D dramatically lowers cancer risks

Vitamin D is in the news a lot these days, and for good reason. As a cancer preventative, this vitamin appears to be without equal. A newly revealed study provides further evidence of just how dramatic this anti-cancer effect is.

An article at PhysOrg.com summarizes the new results this way:

“High blood levels of vitamin D are associated with a lower risk of colon cancer… . The risk was cut by as much as 40% in people with the highest levels compared with those in the lowest.”¹

The study, performed in 10 European countries, involved 520,000 participants.² A study of this size is impossible to ignore — the lacksadaisical attitude of the medical world toward vitamin D’s cancer-prevention potential cannot be maintained much longer.

As reported elsewhere in the LifeLink website, vitamin D’s anti-cancer benefits are not confined to colon cancer prevention alone. Many other types of cancer — perhaps even all forms of cancer — are prevented by this vitamin.^3,4,5

Fortunately, we do not have to wait for the medical community to officially endorse vitamin D as a cancer-preventative, or for governments to grant us “permission” to use it. We can take control of our own health in at least this one area of life.

LifeLink carries two vitamin D products:

• D3ZO is a high-potency vitamin D3 supplement with zinc orotate as a bioavailability enhancer.
• Formula CS Plus is a medium-potency vitamin D supplement that also aims to protect against osteoporosis by supplying a variety of bone enhancers.
