"My feelings changed within a week," Ellis said. Read his story in the August issue of the ALTRUM News available online at www.altrumonline.com or in the mail now. *

Study: Lack of Vitamin D Linked to Increased Risk of Death from all Causes
A recent study has linked vitamin D deficiency with an increased risk of death, especially from cardiovascular disease, in the latest evidence of the important role the vitamin plays in human health.
Researchers in Austria measured the vitamin D levels in 3,258 patients, average age 62, who visited a medical center in Austria between 1997 and 2000, then followed their cases for 7.7 years. Almost twice as many of the patients with vitamin D deficiency died during the course of the study, according to results published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, a publication of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
The link between vitamin D deficiency and mortality from cardiovascular causes was particularly striking. More than half of the deaths were attributed to cardiovascular causes. A Harvard University study of 18,225 published in early June in the Archives of Internal Medicine showed a link between the frequency of heart attacks and low blood levels of vitamin D. Earlier research had shown a link between vitamin D deficiency and diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure. Study after study has shown that vitamin D plays a key role in human immunity. Vitamin D deficiency also has been associated with several types of cancer. *

Low Vitamin D Levels Common Worldwide
At least 50 percent of older individuals worldwide have insufficient vitamin D in their blood, and the situation is similar for younger people, according to the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Possible causes are a decline in outdoor activity, aging and atmospheric pollution.
The chief source for vitamin D is sun exposure, since the ultraviolet rays of the sun trigger vitamin D synthesis within the human body. Ten to fifteen minutes a day with 50 percent skin exposure to the sun may be sufficient. Considered key to overall health, it is naturally present in very few foods, fish, beef liver and egg yolks among them. *
ALTRUM Nutritional Supplements Supply Optimum Dose of Vitamin D
The American Institute of Medicine recommends 200 IU of vitamin D a day for children and adults up to the age of 50. Adults more than 50 years old should take at least 400 to 600 IU daily. ALTRUM multis provide 400 IU of premium vitamin D-3 per daily dosage, which is easily absorbed into the system. In addition, Ultra Calcium contains 200 IU of vitamin D-3. *

ALTRUM Health Tip
Calcium Plus Vitamin D
Builds Bone Strength *
Getting enough calcium, especially past the age of 35, is important to keep bones strong throughout a lifetime. According to a recent study, more than 44 million people in the United States are at risk of developing osteoporosis, or "porous bones," which occurs when bones lose an excessive amount of their protein and mineral content, particularly calcium. Over time, bone mass, and therefore bone strength, is decreased and bones become fragile and break easy.
Calcium is best absorbed by the body when it is combined with vitamin D, so getting enough vitamin D is just as important as getting adequate amounts of calcium. Not only does vitamin D improve bone health by helping calcium absorption, it also may improve muscle strength.
Although some people get adequate amounts of vitamin D from sunlight, this may not be a good source if you live in high latitudes, if you're housebound, or if you regularly use sunscreen. Although vitamin D is present in oily fish such as tuna and sardines and in egg yolks, you probably don't eat these on a daily basis. Calcium supplements with added vitamin D are a good alternative. ALTRUM Ultra Calcium Complex includes 200 IU of premium vitamin D-3 per dose, the type of vitamin D that is most easily absorbed by the body. In addition, nine other ingredients in the Ultra Calcium Complex team up with vitamin D for even greater effectiveness. *
Our Philosophy
At ALTRUM, we strongly believe aging need not equate with "winding down." Except for cases where chronic disorders exist, there is no reason to accept anything less than optimal health and vitality in our later years. Most chronic disorders can be avoided if a conscious daily "self care" regimen is implemented early enough in life. ALTRUM provides the very best in nutritional supplements to rejuvenate, regenerate and renew.*
