You Are My Sunshine...

Ever wonder why around this time of year your energy begins to drop and you start to feel more tired and sluggish? Maybe feelings of sadness develop, or you just can't seem to boost your spirits. Could it be because the sun is hiding?

The sun burns brightly 92.96 million miles away, and this giant ball of glorious light gives off energy that our bodies can use. The sun generates energy through a process called nuclear fusion. While the sun does emit ultraviolet radiation, the majority of solar energy comes in the form of "light" and "heat" in the visible and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

When UVB rays hit your skin, a chemical reaction happens: your body begins the process of converting a prohormone in the skin into vitamin D. A form of cholesterol called 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC), naturally found in your skin, absorbs the UVB radiation and gets converted into cholecalciferol. Unlike other vitamins, vitamin D functions like a hormone, and every cell in the body has a receptor site for it!

But when the sun is hiding for long periods of time and we become deficient in vitamin D, we begin to feel fatigued, depressed, sick more often, experience hair loss, back pain, bone loss, or muscle pain.

The Good News

How do you get more vitamin D? It's found in certain foods such as fatty fish and fortified dairy products, though it's very difficult to get enough from diet alone. That's why there's Solray-D! This liposome spray contains not only vitamin D3 but also vitamin K2. The liposome spray makes the vitamin D and K immediately bioavailable for effective delivery throughout the body, maximizing absorption into cells and allowing those cells to activate their proteins and fulfill their purpose.

As the winter months approach and the sun hides away, know that there is an answer to your symptoms.
