Cholecalciferol Complex Is an enhanced natural Cholecalciferol Formula for increased resistance to: viral exposure, depression, osteoporosis, decreased thyroid and parathyroid function.

Recent research is linking a number of serious health problems to Vitamin D deficiencies. Termed a vitamin, it is more accurately a hormone, activating over 70 receptor sites, essential for innumerable metabolic functions.
Besides its most recognized role in osteoporosis and calcium metabolism, the lack of Vitamin D is directly linked with higher incidences of dangerous viral infections, especially influenza. Vitamin D is essential for proper thyroid and parathyroid function and conditions affecting those systems - now under careful study.
It is now generally agreed that current recommended levels and daily intake of Vitamin D are woefully insufficient. Minimal exposure to sunlight and the universal use of UV sun blockers can contribute to Vitamin D deficiency.
Science is showing correlations between immune function and low Vitamin D blood levels. Vitamin D appears to be an important, if not primary factor, in various resistances. Doctors, wary of side effects and patient concerns with immunizations, are writing that raising Vitamin D levels is more effective than placebos and flu shots for decreasing the incidence of infections; without being dependant on researchers picking the correct strain to immunize against. It provides protection against all strains.

According to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Ligustrum lucidum is a Chinese medicinal plant that is often used in combination with other herbs in botanical formulas. There are several species of Ligustrum that are thought to have different medicinal properties(2) (3). Traditionally, Ligustrum lucidum is used to treat diminished eye sight, dizziness, fever, insomnia, and lower back pain. Some herbalists also use it to treat side effects caused by chemotherapy and to increase immunity in cancer patients. In vitro studies have shown that the fruits of Ligustrum lucidum have antitumor (4) (5) (6), immunostimulatory (7), antioxidative (1), antiviral (8), antimutagenic (9) (10), and hepatoprotective (11) properties. However, human data to substantiate these observations are lacking. There are no reports of adverse effects from the use of Ligustrum.

Mechanism of Action: Ligustrum lucidum is thought to exert antitumor properties by modulating immune response and by reverting macrophage suppression brought about by tumors (4). Another in vitro study has shown that such effects may also be due to increase in phagocytes and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells (5). The secoiridoid glucosides in Ligustrum fruit showed strong antioxidant effect against free radical-associated hemolysis of erythrocytes (1). One of the secoiridoid glucosides, oleuropein, also demonstrated significant antiviral activity against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and parainfluenza type 3 virus (Para 3) although the mechanism is not known (8). The hepatoprotective effects of Ligustrum are due to the oleanolic acid and are thought to be mediated by an increase in hepatic glutathione regeneration capacity (11).
