It is now firmly established that low Vitamin D levels affects athletic performance results. Dr. John Cannell book “Athlete's Edge, Faster, Quicker, Stronger” reveals a long-held secret once known only to Eastern European athletic trainers. In the 1960s and 70s, it was called Sunlamp Therapy, and it gives athletes a definitive edge over their competitors, particularly for athletes who train for indoor or winter sports. That Vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin, improves muscle tone, muscle strength, balance, reaction time and physical endurance, as well as immunity and general health, is a recent discovery in western medicine. It has application ranging from improved performance of standing armies in the field, to Olympic and every-day athletes, and even seniors who need to avert falls and age-related loss of muscle mass and muscle tone.
Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin that’s considered by sports scientists to be essential for boosting the immune system, enhancing recovery and ultimately helping the entire body cope with the physical stress it’s put under during periods of intense performance and training.
Now specifically for athletes and those who train when working at 90% of your maximum heart rate or near exhaustion, your immune system can become suppressed. This is because your oxygen usage skyrockets which in turn causes an increase in lactic acid accumulation in the muscles, which in turn causes your body to pull alkaline reserves from other mineral sources. It’s what’s known as an ‘immune crash’ and it’s during this time that your body is susceptible to viruses, bacteria and over training. Vitamin D3 has been shown to help combat this since it plays a crucial role in activating the body’s 'T' Immune System Cells (the cells in the body that seek and destroy anything ‘foreign’ that enters the body such as bad bacteria or a virus). Vitamin D3 is therefore a great supplement for those who want to help relieve over training.
Vitamin D3 has also been shown to play a role in reducing inflammation in body tissues, again a common problem of over training and intense exercise. This is especially important for athletes who continually load their body above its habitual level during training or competition.
Recently there’s been promising evidence that suggests high Vitamin D3 levels are associated with the maintenance of power and strength by potentially increasing the size and number of fast twitch fibres. This means that Vitamin D3 supplementation could not only improve immune function and prevent over training, and actually have performance enhancing properties. Muscle cells contain Vitamin D receptors and several studies have demonstrated that serum levels of Vitamin D correlate with improved physical performance. On the other hand, people with insufficient or deficient levels of Vitamin D3 are likely to have fatty muscles because of an increase in fat infiltration. Obviously, this information is valuable for everyone not only for both dieters and fitness enthusiasts- who wouldn’t want to lose fat and gain some definition?
Whilst Vitamin D3 is used as a permanent supplement in many athlete’s nutrition plans, it’s particularly important during winter training since it’s during this period when the body can become deficient in it due to lack of sunlight. This is why it’s recommended to take Vitamin D3 in the months leading up to the winter so it can accumulate in the body and therefore boost immune health.

Business :
There is an epidemic of vitamin D deficiency sweeping across our modern world, and it's an epidemic of such depth and seriousness that it makes the H1N1 swine flu epidemic look like a case of the sniffles by comparison.
Vitamin D deficiency is not only alarmingly widespread; it's also a root cause of many other serious diseases such as cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis and heart disease.

Corporate Wellness
In the field of corporate wellness, fitness schemes for all employees have just started to gain momentum. It’s estimated that every sick day costs businesses an average of $385 and one in 40 people do it daily in Australasia. More than 50 per cent of us are guilty of it at some point. Those figures were calculated by Direct Health Solutions, a firm that specializes in workplace absenteeism. Similar statistics were identified by Price Water House Coopers, which estimates absenteeism costs Australasian businesses $17 billion a year.
Both Sports & Business problems are mostly stemming from one common problem. At least 60% of us are deficient in Vitamin D. Using the newest tool, Test4D3 we can tell in 10minutes our blood serum level & if low, do something about it.
