We are, for most of us or soon to be, past the age where we could die at a young age (though with optimal doses and blood levels I think what constitutes young age will have to be reconsidered). Thus, this is coming back to hurt us. That is inadequate Read more…
Thus, the skeletal bone is a huge bank to allow the rapid and large as needed release of in this case calcium carbonate and other substances to neutralize the excess acid. Which maintains a neutral Ph. This release through the vitamin D3’s activated-fast hormonal pathway is body’s main way to Read more…
