"Vitamin D truly is the center of the universe"
– Dr. Russell Chesney, professor and chairman of pediatrics at the
University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis.
"In terms of getting more bang for your health care buck, Vitamin D
testing and supplementation for the population is one solution which is
guaranteed to improve overall health of the population at a
ridiculously low cost." – Jeffrey Dach MD.
"For hundreds of thousands of years, man has lived with the sun: Our
ancestors were outdoors far more often than indoors. We developed a
dependence on sunshine for health and life, so the idea that sunlight
is dangerous does not make sense. How could we have evolved and
survived as a species, if we were that vulnerable to something humans
have been constantly exposed to for their entire existence?" – Dr.
Frank Lipman, internationally recognized expert in the fields of
Integrative and Functional Medicine and practicing physician.
"Because vitamin D is so cheap and so clearly reduces all-cause
mortality, I can say this with great certainty: Vitamin D represents
the single most cost-effective medical intervention in the United
States." – Dr. Greg Plotnikoff, Medical Director, Penny George
Institute for Health and Healing, Abbott Northwestern Hospital in
Minneapolis.
"We estimate that vitamin D deficiency is the most common medical
condition in the world." – Dr. Michael F. Holick, Vitamin D expert.
