Two Tests for Immunity
Recent research says you are as young as your immune system so it's the best place to start when you want to be healthy. Being wise means taking proactive steps, like checking your D3 level with a 25(OH)D blood test. The Vitamin D Council recommends a level of 50 ng/mL, as does Mark Pellegrino, M.D., one of TyH's health advisors. This vitamin is nicknamed the "immunity vitamin" due to its system wide effect on hormones, regulator of so many of your body's functions, and because studies show those with the lowest levels are less disease resistant. Getting a D3 blood test is easy; just ask your doctor. With all the recent publicity on D3, most health care professionals recommend a D3 level, especially for its role in bone health. Many health experts recommend at least 200 IUs daily. If you're lower than the Council suggests, you may opt for a higher dose to get your levels up more quickly. It takes 3 months to change a D3 level so follow-up accordingly with your doctor to check on your progress. More on D3 dosing in our blog post.

The second test is an RBC Magnesium Test, which unfortunately, some doctors decline to check. Magnesium commands a diverse array of enzymes responsible for sugar regulation, vitamins like D3, pain response, relaxes blood, nerves and muscles and so much more. People are less likely to think of magnesium for immunity but low levels are implicated in numerous diseases. This mineral helps reduce stress, a known insult to the immune system, and most importantly, provides energy to every cell. In fact, without optimal RBC magnesium levels, your body is compromised in its ability to perform efficiently. So get the test. Thomas Romano M.D. recommends a level of 5.5 mg/dL. If you show a deficiency, supplement with a highly bioavailable organic mineral found in Fibro-Care™ (Albion® magnesium bisglycinate). You'll be glad you did!
