This time of year in the Northern hemisphere, we’ve gone a long time without much sunlight to make vitamin D.

When it’s winter time, the sun is at the wrong angle in most of the United States for at least a month to get any vitamin D from the sun.

That’s bad news for Prednisone Warriors, because then we can’t get vitamin D in the best way, when sunlight touches our skin.

It’s even worse, because when taking prednisone, our ability to properly have enough vitamin D is hampered because prednisone is actively depleting vitamin D.

Why should we care?

Importance of Vitamin D

Vitamin D is vital for our immune system and many other amazing benefits.

But for Prednisone Warriors, the most important thing vitamin D does is support our bones, protecting them from bone loss and osteoporosis, broken bones, shrinking height, hip replacements, etc.

Without vitamin D, calcium can’t do it’s job to support bones either.

So that’s why the rheumatologists, the doctors who prescribe prednisone the most, recommend all patients on prednisone over 2.5 mg per day take calcium and vitamin D.

But what’s the best kind of vitamin D for those of us on prednisone?

(If you thought, “Can’t you just take vitamin D?” that would make sense! But which one? Vitamin D2? Vitamin D3? Alfacalcidol? Calcitriol?)

Thankfully, some scientists just did that research for us to find out!

Watch now!

Best Vitamin D mentioned in the video:

• Alfacalcidol is best for the lumbar spine.
• Calcitriol’s greatest femoral neck increase.

Dispensing Vitamin D

There’s another version of vitamin D mentioned in the video. Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3 and what’s the difference of the two?

• Vitamin D2: requires a prescription, just once a week.
• Vitamin D3: over-the-counter without a prescription, taken once a day, works better.

Best Supplement to Take while on Prednisone

The American College of Rheumatology, the doctors who prescribe prednisone the most suggest. They suggest that everybody on prednisone over two and a half milligrams a day be taking calcium, vitamin D and Cholecalciferol or vitamin D3 is the very best kind.

I took all of that information and incorporated that into the supplement I invented  Nutranize Zone.

It includes not only calcium but also vitamin D3. You can see on its label that vitamin D as cholecalciferol, 10 micrograms, which is 50% of your daily value in this bottle!

That means a hundred percent of the daily value of Vitamin D3 is in Nutranize Zone. Because you’ll take two of these in the morning and two of these at bedtime, and that gets you all the vitamin D3 you need.

So if you are taking Prednisone, you need at the minimum calcium and vitamin D3, and this will help you get those plus all of the 9 nutrients that prednisone steals.
