Bob Barefoot's Vitamin D Formula
Anyone who has seen or heard of Bob Barefoot knows that he is an influential, and often controversial advocate for the use of coral calcium. Those who have read his books and/or followed his anti-disease protocols also know that he often places an much emphasis on the importance of vitamin-d supplementation.
Vitamin D is both a vitamin and a hormone. It's a vitamin because your body cannot absorb calcium without it; it's a hormone because your body manufactures it in response to your skin's exposure to sunlight.
Bob Barefoot recognized a couple of problems concerning humans and vitamin d. First, our bodies can naturally produce it's own vitamin-d; as much as 20,000 iu's an hour when we are out in the sunlight. Knowing this, it's absurd that anyone would imply that 5,000 - 10,000 iu's of vitamin-d a day is too much. That led Bob Barefoot to a second issue, where to find capsules that provided an adequate amount of quality vitamin-d, and at a price people could afford...

Vitamin D & Early Childhood Dental Health
The relationship between vitamin D and adult bone health is well-understood. However, until recently, less has been known about the relationship between maternal vitamin D status and infant bone health. A new study out of the University of Manitoba sheds new light on this subject by examining the relationship between maternal vitamin D status and two measures of infant dental health: enamel hypoplasia (EH) and early childhood caries (ECC).
206 pregnant women enrolled in the study during their second trimester. Serum vitamin D analyses revealed that more than a third of the women were vitamin D deficient (34.5%, deficiency defined as <= 35 nmol/L). Only 21 women had adequate levels of vitamin D (10.5%, adequacy defined as >= 80 nmol/L).
Over the next two years, 135 infants returned for a dental health examination. 21.6% had EH while 33.6% had ECC. Mothers of children with EH had lower vitamin D concentrations during pregnancy, though the result didn’t quite reach statistical significance (43.2 vs 51.4 nmol/L, p=0.07). However, mothers of children with ECC had significantly lower vitamin D levels than those whose children were caries-free (43.9 vs 52.8 nmol/L, p=0.034).
This study is the first to provide evidence for a correlation between maternal vitamin D levels and infant dental health, and additional research currently underway should shed further light on this important issue.

Please Understand this First!
Not only are the current "recommendations" in serious question by most vitamin D experts, many vitamin D scientists (many of them published in AJCN, etc.) are frustrated by the lack of action by government agencies to increase the recommendations because of the serious consequences of insufficient vitamin D intake.
