If you enjoy the cost savings when buying your coconut oil products in gallon containers but struggle to make the cost saving buy decision because you prefer to avoid your wonderful coconut oil packaged in food grade plastic containers. If so, then you will appreciate our new packaging that will be introduced by mid May +/-.

By popular demand we have finally completed the first run of the Organic Flavored High Vitamin Butter Oil.

There are two flavors to choose, organic raspberry flavor and organic butter pecan flavor. For those of you who prefer not to take capsules and do not care for the sometimes strong cultured/cheesy/butyric acid flavor of the traditional butter oil the Organic Flavored Butter oil will make the butter oil experience taste friendly.

Please provide feed back on the flavors.

Vitamin D toxicity (usually asymptomatic hypercalcaemia) is exceedingly rare and few practicing physicians have ever seen a case [91], although that could change with the recent over-the-counter availability of 50,000-IU capsules. True toxicity is secondary to the unbridled effects of hypercalcaemia. First urine calcium, and then serum calcium, will begin to gradually increase when 25(OH)D levels exceed some level > 150 ng/ml and such levels must be associated with hypercalcaemia in order to indict vitamin D [2,48].

In the summer of 1974, brothers Frank and Cedric Garland had a heretical brainwave.

Our bodies do not use Vitamin D3 or D2 but rather these Hormones follow a enzyme pathway converting to a common usable form 1-25 dihydroxy vitamin D. As we age,. or if a person has issues that interrupt/slow down the natural conversion pathway, ones body might not convert as efficiently the vitamin D to 1-25 dihydroxy. I have seen specific studies that show the aging process does negatively effect the pathway efficiency.

Back in the 50's or 60's Dale Alexander wrote a couple books that focused much attention on the importance of taking Cod Liver Oil.

In His books he describes how to determine the correct dosage of cod liver oil based on ear wax flow. One should start off taking high doses until the ear wax flows then cut back. He described a healthy ear wax as having a tacky texture. If I recall he described a high dose of cod liver oil as a tablespoon.

For discussion purposes; There are over 3000 metabolites of Vitamin D known. Many of the metabolites are slightly understood, others very little is known about their action/pathway and few are routinely discussed (D2/D3). Many of the Metabolites will have different pathway's and actions in our health. For all you chemists out there, a new publication, "The Vitamin D Handbook' is now available that identifies and describes 900+ of these metabolites. Todays standard testing can only measure a handful of the different metabolites (maybe 4 to 10 of the species and at a very high cost).
