Infections - The Common Cold
Every year the average Canadian adult will suffer from between 2 to 5 colds, making "common cold" or Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (URTI) a leading cause of missed days in the Canadian workplace. Today the Archives of Internal Medicine (Arch Intern Med. 2009; 169(4): 384-390) published a study showing that people with low levels of vitamin D experience a higher number of URTI. Furthermore, the connection between low vitamin D and the common cold was even stronger in those suffering from chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis.
Professor Reinhold Vieth of the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Toronto, and Director of Bone and Mineral Laboratory, Mount Sinai Hospital Toronto, an internationally recognized expert on vitamin D, commented, "It really is timely, when the common cold is at its peak, to see more evidence that higher blood levels of vitamin D seem to protect against respiratory infections. This was a large US survey, and while it doesn't prove cause, it is an important part of the consistent pattern of evidence relating vitamin D to fewer colds. That should make everybody at least start to think about vitamin D."
Chris Temovsky, Vice- President of The D Drops Company Inc. stated that, "Once again, we have research evidence shining on the health benefits of vitamin D. We are excited about this positive medical finding that helps raise public awareness about vitamin D and how its role as a nutritional supplement can help improve the health of Canadians. The D Drops Company Inc. is proud to offer a unique format once-daily vitamin drop technology: Ddrops 1,000 IU, and Baby Ddrops 400IU. All Ddrops brand products offer concentrated purified vitamin D, providing a daily dose of naturally sourced vitamin D3 in each single drop.

About The D Drops Company
The D Drops Company is 100% Canadian owned and operated and was founded in response to a need for a simply better way to provide the one vitamin that is most often deficient in Canadians vitamin D. Our research and development is geared toward developing and marketing safe, effective, convenient and economical forms of vitamin D supplements under the Ddrops brand.
Vitamin D Deficient
A report published in the March 2009 issue of Pediatrics (PEDIATRICS Vol. 123 No. 3 March 2009, pp. 797-803) looking at nearly 3,000 12-19 year olds participating in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Study III (NHANES III) found that black teens were 20 times more likely to be vitamin D deficient than white teens. Furthermore, vitamin D deficiency among girls was more than double that of boys, while twice as many obese teens were vitamin D deficient as normal-weight teens.
Chris Temovsky, Vice- President, The D Drops Company Inc. comments, "These findings further add to the body of knowledge amassing on vitamin D deficiency as a particularly acute concern in certain populations. These US findings are also very relevant to our Canadian youth population and highlight certain populations carrying a disproportionate health risk burden; given the northern latitudes and multicultural Canadian population. We hope this helps further raise public awareness and action around vitamin D deficiency in adolescents and how routine supplementation can help toward improving the health of Canadians. The D Drops Company Inc. is proud to offer a unique format once-daily vitamin drop technology: Ddrops 1,000 IU, and Baby Ddrops 400IU. All Ddrops brand products offer concentrated purified vitamin D, providing a daily dose of naturally sourced vitamin D3 in each single drop."
Insufficient vitamin D levels have been associated with bone fractures, heart disease, infection and suboptimal health overall.
Professor Reinhold Vieth of the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Toronto, and Director of Bone and Mineral Laboratory, Mount Sinai Hospital Toronto, an internationally recognized expert on vitamin D, commented, "Although current intakes of vitamin D are close to what is officially recommended, they are inadequate to deal with the growing evidence of vitamin D insufficiency. Increased intake of vitamin D (at least 1,000 international units per day) seems to make more and more sense given the trends in these and similar findings over recent years" Chris Temovsky, Vice- President of The D Drops Company Inc. states, "One cannot help but wonder if these findings can be extrapolated to our population in Canada. Considering our more northern latitudes, are we at similar or potentially higher risks and what are we doing about it? Could the solution be as simple as supplementation?"
