D-sorb™
D-Sorb™ Targeted to Help Combat Vitamin D Deficiency, An Increasing Medical Condition in our High-Tech World
SourceOne has introduced a new high-potency, bioavailable Vitamin D supplement - D-sorb™. D-sorb™ provides a wide range of Vitamin D3 potencies in easy-to-swallow softgels and capliques. They feature SourceOne's unique and patented VESIsorb® lipid-based delivery system, which has been clinically proven to provide increased absorption and bioavailability. D-sorb™ utilizes Vitamin D3, a more potent and effective form of Vitamin D when compared to Vitamin D2. Vitamins D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol) are naturally occurring precursors that are converted in the liver and kidneys to the biologically active form of Vitamin D. Studies have shown that Vitamin D3 is more effective than Vitamin D2 in raising and maintaining levels of biologically active Vitamin D.
D-Sorb™ helps promote calcium absorption for healthy bones and supports the immune system and cardiovascular health. Recent research has shown that Vitamin D may protect against osteoporosis, diabetes, hypertension, glucose intolerance, stroke, autoimmune diseases and some forms of cancer, such as prostrate, breast and colon cancers. Vitamin D is naturally synthesized in the skin following exposure to sunlight and deficiencies may occur as a result of decreased time spent outdoors, reduced sun exposure in colder climates and heavy use of sunscreen. Additionally, if you are elderly, have dark skin, high BMI (Body Mass Index), or suffer from Crohn's disease or celiac disease, you may not be getting enough Vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency has become a worldwide epidemic in all age groups and we believe everyone should supplement their diet with Vitamin D.
Product Description
Vitamin D is found in food, and can also be made in the body from exposure to sunlight. Varying amounts of sun exposure, the constant use of sun block, and dietary choices all influence your vitamin D levels. Recent research indicates that most Americans have too little vitamin D for optimum health.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that occurs naturally in very few foods. It promotes calcium absorption and helps maintain normal bones and bone growth. It also helps modulate neuromuscular and immune function and reduces inflammation. Its role in preventing rickets in children has been reflected in recent guidelines by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which upgraded its recommendation of daily vitamin D intake by children and adolescents. Vitamin D may also help maintain normal blood calcium levels, stimulate cell differentiation, boost immunity, and support insulin secretion. It is also has benefits for skin care, inflammation, and metabolic syndrome.
Currently one of the most visible nutrients around, due to the plethora of newly released findings of scientific studies revealing a multitude of additional benefits that have been attributed to Vitamin D. In fact hardly a week goes by without some new report on its benefits and importance.
SourceOne offers the highest-quality vitamin D products available. With more and more research supporting the role of Vitamin D in heart health, SourceOne has developed multiple Vitamin D formulas. D-sorb™ utilizes the VESIsorb® delivery system. VESIsorb® D-sorb™ colloidal droplets protect the vitamin D from oxidation, stomach acids and light, thus reducing overages generally associated with vitamin D. The VESIsorb® delivery system also makes the lipid soluble vitamin D water soluble, improving absorption and bioavailability.
D-sorb™, in the patented VESIsorb® naturally self-assembling colloidal droplet delivery system, insures optimum health and wellness relating to the role of vitamin D alone or in combination with SourceOne OmegaChoice® concentrated Omega-3, CoQsource® bio-enhanced CoQ10, and more.
Market Opportunity
Consumers are increasingly seeking natural approaches to a range of conditions, in combination with improved diet and exercise. Natural foods and nutritional supplements can help. The more support we provide our bodies to help them function more effectively, the greater the possibility of achieving balanced systems and overall health and wellness. Vitamin D has a range of properties and benefits that help support overall health and wellness, and the need for high-quality vitamin D products is stronger than ever.
Research suggests that up to 85% of people have less than sufficient levels of Vitamin D. Since each 100IU of Vitamin D taken yields only a 1 ng/ml raise in blood level (with optimum levels ranging from 30-150 ng/ml), creating more efficient products is one of the biggest issues facing supplement companies today. D-sorb™ in VESIsorb® delivers the solution so many health conscious consumers are seeking.
Consumers have become very aware of the damage the sun can do to the skin but less aware of the fact that using a sunscreen inhibits Vitamin D production. With the recent discoveries of numerous additional health benefits that have been attributed to Vitamin D, this presents an ideal combination of opportunities. Finally, as Vitamin D is comparatively expensive ingredient, manufacturers would benefit from utilizing the VESIsorb® delivery system.
