Vitamin D

Vitamin D

The Sunshine Vitamin
Powered by solar energy

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."

Activator-X

X Factor Vitamin K2

The X Factor
Now believed to be Vitamin K2
Mineral Catalyst
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)

Vitamin A

Vitamin A RetinolMan

Vision, growth, immunity

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

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

Naturally balanced with Vitamin D in Green Pasture ®

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."

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."

Omega-3
Essential Fatty Acids

Omega 3 EPA & DHA

EPA and DHA

Omega-3 is a bonus team member with Green Pasture ®

Called "essential" because our bodies can't manufacture them and we must obtain them from food.  Omega-3 should be balanced with Omega-6.



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

Price used cod liver oil, butter oil and organ meats to supply the fat-soluble vitamins to his patients.
Vegetarianism and nutrient deficiencies

Cod liver oil, available without a prescription for hundreds of years, is a valuable source of  vitamins A and D,  as well as long-chain omega-3 fatty acids

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

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

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...
