Wellesse(R) Liquid Vitamin D Recommended in 'The Vitamin D Solution'

FERNDALE, Wash., March 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Nationally recognized vitamin D expert Michael F. Holick, Ph.D., M.D., of Boston University Medical Center recommends Wellesse® Liquid Vitamin D3 for children and adults in his new book, "The Vitamin D Solution: A 3-Step Strategy to Cure our Most Common Health Problem."

"We hope Dr. Holick's book will draw more attention to the importance of vitamin D," says Marie Spano, registered dietitian and consultant for Wellesse. "Americans aren't getting enough of this very important vitamin, which supports a healthy immune system, promotes bone and colon health, and more."

The Vitamin D Solution helps demystify the nutrient and showcase its place in human health. When discussing optimal vitamin D intake, Dr. Holick writes that he typically recommends 1,000 – 2,000 IU of vitamin D a day and that Wellesse Liquid Vitamin D3 "…is ideal for children and adults who don't want to take a pill or have trouble swallowing pills."

In the book's forward, Andrew Weil, MD, notes, "The Vitamin D Solution sets a new standard in health and wellness that I believe will change the face of medicine as we know it." The book has also received advance praise from The New York Times best-selling author, women's health expert and frequent Oprah guest, Christiane Northrup, MD.
