    Vitamin D May Stop Melanoma Growth

    A great study that corroborates my recent post on avoiding sunlight being as bad for health as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day.

    Calcirol - Liquid Vitamin D3

    Just like the other vitamin products we have released, this product does not really need any introduction to anybody familiar with Peat's work.

    Vitamin D3 Extends Lifespan By Preventing Toxic Protein Buildup

    Over the last 6-9 months I noticed that often people who communicate with Peat over email get a recommendation to supplement with vitamin D.
