How we add value to your workplace through optimisation of vitamin D levels
It is well known that companies and organisations lose significant profits due to employee sickness. Consider the impact of seasonal colds and influenza, tuberculosis, fatigue, chronic low back pain, depression and anxiety, uncontrolled diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension, complications of HIV, and cancers.
​
Research has shown that optimising the Vitamin D levels reduces the impact of these conditions. For example robust research available shows that correcting Vitamin D levels in females reduces the incidence of breast cancer by more than 80 %.
Optimising Vit D Reduces Incidence of Acquiring Flus by Nearly 40%
This figure shows the significant drop in the incidence of influenza when participants increased their intake of vitamin D to at least a blood concentration of 40 ng/ml. Consider how this may impact the workplace in winter on an annual basis.

Low vitamin D levels associated with greater risk of acquiring TB
Research shows more than double increased risk for acquiring latent TB in those whose levels were lower than 30 ng/ml. Consider the implications of this in industries where TB is rife for example in the mining industry and the healthcare industry; also consider what the impact of this would be in those who are HIV positive, who have a propensity of acquiring TB
