New Study Provides One More Reason To Take Vitamin D3 Supplements From Egan Wellness Clinic

PRLog (Press Release) - Jul. 14, 2011 - A new study conducted by researchers at the New Jersey Dental School in Newark has shown that Vitamin D may help prevent gingivitis and tooth loss, providing one more reason for consumers to take Vitamin D3 supplements like those offered by Egan Wellness Clinic's new supplement line now available at EganMedical.com.

The study, which was headed up by lead researcher Gill Diamond, showed strong evidence suggesting that Vitamin D actually helps combat bacterial infections in the mouth. These bacterial infections attack the gums, which can lead to gingivitis, gum disease and tooth loss. These results build upon those of a previous study which found that Vitamin D helps the body produce a natural antibiotic in the lungs that can kill off harmful bacteria.

The NJDS study also indicated that the human gums may be able to activate previously inactive forms of Vitamin D for use in combating infections. This is significant, according to lead researcher Gil Diamond. “This means that we may even be able to use vitamin D therapy topically, if that proves true,” said Diamond on the results of the research.

Until a topical solution such as that envisioned by Diamond is developed, tested and introduced into the marketplace, oral health-conscious consumers can still take measures to help ensure they maintain healthy levels of Vitamin D.
