(Newswire.net — July 13, 2020) — HCP Wellnet, the formulator of Clean Kiss Organic Oral Care products and Leona Meditz, founder and executive director, provides research and facts about how Vitamin D is an anti-inflammatory ally that battles Periodontal Disease.
Nutritional support for the skeletal system absolutely depends on calcium, the most abundant mineral in the body, and absorption of calcium and phosphorous, another mineral vital to body health, depends on appropriate levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D also supports other body systems: nervous, muscular, and immune systems.
Oxford Dictionaries define vitamin D as, “any group of vitamins found in liver and fish oils, essential for the absorption of calcium and the prevention of rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. The symptoms of rickets are bowed legs or knock-knees, caused by the softening of the bones. Wrists and ankles may have a thickened appearance, and the breastbone may protrude. Osteomalacia, according to Mayo Clinic, is caused mainly by severe vitamin D deficiency. Different from osteoporosis, which causes bone thinning, osteomalacia causes bones to soften. In the early stages, the sufferer may be unaware of it because there is no associated pain; however, in later stages, he or she may develop dull, aching bone pain and muscle weakness.
A deficiency of vitamin D can be easily treated. Getting exposure to the sun is one good way to increase vitamin D levels. WebMD recommends exposing the hands, face, arms, and legs to sunlight 2-3 times per week. Exposure time can vary related to age, skin type, season, and time of day, e.g. think about the most dangerous hours in summer to be in the sun for getting sunburn. If you have fair skin, you must be even more careful, so consider these factors when scheduling getting vitamin D via the sun. Additionally, if you are over 65 years old, you are more likely to experience vitamin D shortage. Or, perhaps you live in a northern clime, like the northern United States or Canada, where sunlight is not so strong. Or maybe, you stay inside a great deal. Or, maybe you cover up when you go outside or use sunscreens. Reasons abound for why you might be short on vitamin D.
Fun fact: Did you know that your body acts like a battery? It stores vitamin D for use after the sun goes down.
Other ways for getting vitamin D are eating foods with vitamin D and taking vitamin D supplements. Other than the foods, like liver and fish oils, mentioned above in the definition, egg yolks and foods and beverages fortified with vitamin D, like milk, bread, cereal, and also some fruit juices, for instance orange juice, can be consumed. Vitamin D supplements can be found in grocery and drug stores.
How important is vitamin D to dental structures ?
The dental structures: the jaw, the teeth, and the enamel on the teeth, depend on getting enough calcium to keep those structures strong. Without vitamin D, all those structures weaken.
Vitamin D is also anti-inflammatory. Why is that chemical property important for the mouth? Bacteria enter the mouth when you eat, drink, and breathe. Anaerobic bacteria, those are bacteria that do not survive in oxygen, find places to hide in gums. Once they have established a comfortable home, they cause infection. That infection, in turn, produces inflammation. Once those bacteria have disrupted the skin, inflammation travels through the broken skin, gets into the bloodstream, and journeys throughout the body to whatever organ or system it desires. We call inflammation The Silent Killer because you may never know it’s present until it’s too late. This inflammation can cause numerous inflammatory diseases: heart disease, diabetes, atherosclerosis, and much more.
How do you treat bacterial infection and inflammation in the mouth? The best way to do that is to choose a healthy oral care system. Brushing and flossing may not be enough.
The Clean Kiss Oral Care System is that system. It approaches bacterial infection and the accompanying inflammatory response with a system we call Swish, Scrub, Spray, and Support. Bone Support is one of the two supplements in the system recommended for a healthy mouth. Bone Support is easily absorbed and comes in capsule form to be ingested two capsules, twice per day, in the morning and evening. It is made in the USA in an FDA registered lab.
Vitamin D is only one of fifteen healthy ingredients in Bone Support and must be taken in conjunction with calcium and zinc. Other individual ingredients are presented on this Website. For optimum results, Bone Support should be used with the entire Clean Kiss Oral Care System.
Other safe, effective ingredients are as follows:
- Calcium
- Vitamin K
- Zinc
- Boron
- Magnesium
- L-lysine
- Icariin
- Betaine
- Selenium
- Manganese
- Copper Citrate
- Molybdenum
- Strontium Citrate
