The actions of calcium and magnesium oppose one another in the musculoskeletal system, with calcium needed for muscle contraction and magnesium needed for muscle relaxation. Vitamin D3 is needed for calcium absorption from the digestive tract, while magnesium is needed to activate enzymes related to vitamin D3 metabolism. In fact, individuals that are magnesium-replete are much less likely to be vitamin D3 deficient. A deficiency in any one of these nutrients can disrupt the overall balance in the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough there is no definitive research to declare the optimal ratio of calcium to magnesium, evidence does show that high calcium diets can lower magnesium stores and decrease magnesium absorption.

If the appropriate fatty acids are not available, the implications for overall health are serious. A relative deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids can lead to a pro-inflammatory state and increase the risk of chronic disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe active compounds responsible for the widespread benefits of fish oil supplementation have been identified as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Although both are important for various aspects of human health, EPA is generally regarded as the anti-inflammatory fatty acid while DHA is more responsible for neurodevelopment and nerve protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEPA and DHA have been clinically studied in a variety of health conditions. For instance, supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids have been found to be beneficial for cardiovascular health, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmunity, cognition, mood, skin health and atopic concerns, to name just a few clinical indications. Simply put, EPA and DHA should be considered for addressing any systemic inflammatory condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne challenge that arises with omega-3 fatty acid supplementation is poor compliance. Most supplements require several capsules or teaspoons per day to achieve an evidence-based dose of combined EPA and DHA. Cyto·Matrix’s Omega·D3 Liquid Forte solves this problem by providing 1900mg of EPA and 900mg of DHA in only a single teaspoon. These omega-3 fatty acids, sourced from wild North Atlantic sardines, anchovies, mackerels and menhaden, are provided in the well-researched ethyl ester form, allowing for evidence-based, extremely concentrated and cost-effective delivery. Each serving also includes an additional 1000IU of vitamin D3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOmega·D3 Liquid Forte is molecularly distilled, without the use of chemicals or solvents, to ensure purity and the removal of harmful compounds such as heavy metals and organophosphates. Rosemary extract and mixed tocopherols are added to the formula and every bottle is capped with nitrogen, all to protect against and prevent oxidation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a 230ml bottle size, your patients receive 46 servings for ongoing support. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cyto-Matrix","offers":[{"title":"Citrus","offer_id":50632855716135,"sku":"193125","price":57.48,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mango","offer_id":50632855748903,"sku":"193304","price":57.48,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/5693\/9559\/files\/image_ef472cad-9cdf-4cee-95d2-41aad9f185ff.png?v=1744920296"},{"product_id":"cyto-d3-2500iu-mct-base-1","title":"Cyto-Matrix Cyto-D3 2500IU – MCT Base 90 Softgels","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"x-content-area e413-e13 mbh-l prod-excerpt\"\u003e2500IU of stable and active vitamin D3 per softgel in a highly bioavailable base of organic coconut oil.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-content-area e413-e14 mbh-l prod-quick-points mtl\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupportive for skeletal health, immunity, mood disorders, cardiovascular function, hormone imbalances and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2500IU of stable vitamin D3 per softgel, with 90 softgels per bottle, allowing for variable and condition-specific dosing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivered in a base of organic coconut oil, for optimal bioavailability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-content-area e413-e15 mbh-l mtl prod-free-from\"\u003eGMO, gluten, soy and dairy free.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-content-area e413-e15 mbh-l mtl prod-free-from\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-content-area e413-e15 mbh-l mtl prod-free-from\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Canadians living north of the equator, sun exposure is not always guaranteed and winters can be long. This is problematic not only because of the health implications in the absence of light and outdoor exposure, but also because of the role that ultraviolet (UV) rays play in the synthesis of vitamin D3 within the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is the preferred form of vitamin D for optimal bioavailability and function within the body. It is naturally photosynthesized in the skin tissue from the cholesterol compound 7-dehydrocholesterol after exposure to UV-B rays. However, current estimates suggest that 1 in 3 Canadians are overtly deficient in vitamin D as a result of inadequate sun exposure, poor diet, medication use, and other stressors. About 2 in every 3 Canadians have adequate, yet suboptimal, vitamin D levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese numbers are concerning because vitamin D is imperative for countless actions within the human body. It is most well-known for its ability to upregulate calcium absorption from the gut. However, research in the past two decades has discovered that vitamin D3 is needed for proper immune function, mood health, cardiovascular function, skin health and proper gene expression. Consider that vitamin D receptors (VDR’s) are found in dozens of tissues, including thyroid, adrenal, pancreas, skeletal muscle, cardiovascular tissue, colon, liver, kidney, breast and retina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this in mind, it’s no surprise that many experts now refer to vitamin D3 as a hormone with the ability to actually modify genetic production and expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCytoD3·2500IU - Softgels is designed to aid in the prevention of vitamin D3 deficiency.

Vitamin D receptors are found throughout the body and have been shown to influence the expression of thousands of genes, as well as having an influence on healthy brain function, including playing a role in cognitive function and Aiding balanced moods and a positive mental outlook. Vitamin D helps regulate the body’s calcium levels. When calcium levels are low, vitamin D stimulates calcium absorption and reduces calcium excretion, thereby encouraging healthy bones and teeth. Healthy prostate, colon, and breast tissues are also Aided by vitamin D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA significant proportion of people in North America have suboptimal levels of vitamin D. Several factors contribute to this, such as avoidance of sun exposure, older age (the elderly have reduced capacity to synthesize vitamin D in the skin upon exposure to UVB radiation and are more likely to stay indoors or use sunscreen), gastrointestinal and digestive conditions that affect the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and various health and lifestyle issues that interfere with vitamin D absorption or increase the need for vitamin D.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, modern diets are typically low in vitamin D-rich foods that were once a more regular part of people’s diets, such as fatty fish, cod liver oil and lard from pasture-raised pigs. Vitamin D2 is the form typically used in fortified foods, but evidence indicates that D3 (as is found in Hi-Po Emulsi-D3) is more effective for increasing and maintaining a healthy vitamin D level in the blood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Designs for Health","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50866714378535,"sku":"EMD1OZ-CN","price":54.63,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/5693\/9559\/files\/64663160-6582-49C2-8C97-9D11841CE887_0aa0c094-c2cd-4ba3-ac76-3d77d5e0a1b2.jpg?v=1766975466"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/5693\/9559\/collections\/young-pretty-girl-posing-street_158595-56.jpg?v=1744988272","url":"https:\/\/www.thevitaminstore.ca\/collections\/vitamin-d.oembed?page=2","provider":"The Vitamin Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
