Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

The evidence between blood serum levels of vitamin D and reduced cancer risk continues to pour in. Recently, it’s been shown that increased blood levels of vitamin D may reduce the risk of colorectal cancer by as much as 40 per cent. The study also mentions that greater dietary intake of calcium was associated with a lower colorectal cancer risk as well.

IPM offers Vitamin D in both 1000 IU and 5000 IU.
