Vitamin D works together in a team NOT alone!
Vitamin D needs "Cofactors" or helpers.
Vitamin D3 partners with Vitamin A, Activator-X and minerals
like calcium, magnesium, phosporous, zinc and boron.

​This is why we use Green Pasture ®

with Cofactors

Vitamin D

The Sunshine Vitamin

Gets his super powers from the sun. 
Cholesterol is important for conversion of sunlight UVB rays into vitamin D3.

But sometimes we can't get enough sunlight to get our vitamin D3.

Real vitamin D from Nature comes with known and unknown co-factors that are not found in synthetically produced vitamin D.

"Vitamin D is best known for its relation to calcium metabolism.  By supporting the absorption of calcium from food, it prevents and cures the childhood bone disease rickets and its adult counterpart osteomalacia.

It also protects against tetany, convulsions and heart failure in newborns, helps prevent osteoporosis in the elderly, prevents the development of type 1 diabetes, and is believed by some researchers to have additional roles in protecting against cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, arthritis, multiple sclerosis and various other diseases."

Plus optional Vitamin D3 drops from live source with the Green Pasture ® packages.

Important:  We need 4 to 10 times more Vitamin A than vitamin D.  More of one requires more of the other.  Do NOT TAKE more vitamin D without balance of vitamin A from cod liver oil and/or vitamin A rich foods like liver.  More D3 than vitamin A can be harmful to kidneys and draw calcium from bones rather than help supply calcium to bones.

Activator-X
The X Factor
Now believed to be Vitamin K2 (menaquinone)
Mineral Catalyst

Or the "Price Factor".  Discovered by Dr. Weston Price as an 'unknown catalyst' now believed to be vitamin K2 or what Dr. Royal Lee called Vitamin F complex.  Works synergestically with Vitamins A and D3.

"In 1945, Dr. Weston Price described “a new vitamin-like activator” that played an influential role in the utilization of minerals, protection from tooth decay, growth and development, reproduction, protection against heart disease and the function of the brain. 

Using a chemical test, he determined that this compound — which he called Activator X — occurred in the butterfat, organs and fat of animals consuming rapidly growing green grass, and also in certain sea foods such as fish eggs." (ref)

Dr. Price found Activator-X differed between butter from around the country depending on the quality of the soil.  It is found in the butterfat of cows eating rapidly growing green grass, and is responsible for absorption of minerals into bones and teeth.

It is found in Green Pasture ® high vitamin butter oil and Skate liver oil here in these packages.

"A majority of our medical problems would clear up very quickly if the populace would return to eating liver and embrace the use of cod liver oil—our finest superfoods." 
- Weston A. Price Foundation

Vitamin A

"The roles of vitamin A in vision, growth, immunity, reproduction and the differentiation of cells and tissues are well known.

Vitamin A also plays a number of lesser known functions: it is a powerful antioxidant in cell membranes, protects against environmental toxins, contributes to the regulation of bone growth, protects against asthma and allergies, prevents the formation of kidney stones, and protects against fatty liver disease." (ref)

Vitamin A or retinol is important for just about every function in the body.  Vision and eye health are very dependent on vitamin A.

Are you getting REAL vitamin A?

High vitamin cod liver oil is a source of real vitamin A.

Important:  The ratio of vitamins A to D is important.  More of one requires more of the other.  We need 4 to 10 times more Vitamin A than vitamin D.  Cod liver oil naturally contains this ratio.

" Food Sources of Vitamin A

Listed below are approximate levels of vitamin A in common foods, in IUs per 100 grams:

• High-vitamin cod liver oil 230,000
• Regular cod liver oil 100,000
• Duck liver 40,000
• Beef liver 35,000
• Goose liver 31,000
• Liverwurst sausage (pork) 28,000
• Lamb liver 25,000

It should be noted that these amounts can vary according to how the animals are fed. Weston Price noted a huge variation in vitamin-A content of butter according to the season. In addition, absorption of vitamin A varies according to the food. Research carried out during the 1940s indicates that vitamin A is more easily absorbed from butter than from other foods.

The US Recommended Daily Allowance of vitamin A is currently 5,000 IU per day (and may possibly be lowered to 2500 IU per day). From the work of Weston Price, we can assume that the amount in indigenous diets was about 50,000 IU per day, which could be achieved in a modern diet by consuming generous amounts of whole milk, cream, butter and eggs from pastured animals; beef or duck liver several times per week; and 1 tablespoon regular cod liver oil or 1/2 tablespoon high-vitamin cod liver oil per day."

Omega-3
EFA's or "Essential Fatty Acids"

Omega-3 is a bonus team member. 
She comes along with Green Pasture ® automatically due to the fish oil component.

Called "essential" because our bodies can't manufacture them and we must obtain them from food.  Omega-3 should be balanced with Omega-6.  General population gets too much omega-6 from modern diet but not enough omega-3.

The essential fatty acids are crucial to brain and overall health. 

20% of the fat in the brain is made up of omega-3 fatty acids.  These are found in fish oils, like Green Pasture ® cod liver oil, fish and some plants.

Green Pasture ® naturally provides EPA and DHA. 

Many fish oils are molecular distilled, which can damage fragile omega-3 oils and make them rancid. 

Green Pasture ® is produced from a natural fermentation, not distilled, no heat and no chemicals.

WARNING FOR PREGNANCY AND VEGETARIANS:
"Cod liver oil contains substantial levels of omega-3 EPA, which can cause numerous health problems, such as hemorrhaging during the birth process, if not balanced by arachidonic acid (ARA), an omega-6 fatty acid found in liver, egg yolks and meat fats. Please do not add cod liver oil to a diet that is deficient in these important animal foods. It is important to follow our diet for pregnant mothers in its entirety, not just selected parts of it.” - Diet for Pregnant and Nursing Mothers

One of the greatest health secrets ever revealed.

"The key finding of Dr. Weston Price was very high levels of
“fat-soluble activators” in traditional diets...

No matter what the particulars of the diet
whether in the frozen north, the Alpine highlands
or the tropical South Seas

traditional peoples consumed plentiful amounts of
vitamins A, D and what Dr. Price referred to as Activator X
now determined to be vitamin K2 from
seafood, organ meats and the fat of grass-fed animals."
- Chris Masterjohn

Synergy

 "Price found that the combination of cod liver oil and a high-Activator X butter oil concentrate
was more effective than cod liver oil alone..."
- On the Trail of the Elusive X-Factor

"The interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect
is greater than the sum of their individual effects."
 The Free Dictionary

When Dr. Price analyzed the foods used by isolated primitive peoples, he found that they provided at least four times the water-soluble vitamins, calcium and other minerals, and at least ten times the fat soluble vitamins from animal foods such as butter, fish, eggs, shellfish and organ meats.

"God chose the things the world considers foolish to confound those who consider themselves wise..."
