The purpose of this study is to compare vitamin D deficient and vitamin D sufficient elderly individuals and examine the effect of a vitamin D dietary supplement on serum vitamin D level, bone formation, resorption, and mineral density, flexibility, balance, general inflammation,and quality of life. Enhancing nutritional status is necessary to prevent the continued proliferation of chronic diseases, e.g., bone disease and other chronic disorders thought to now be related to low levels of vitamin D, which are some of the leading disablers and killers of Americans. Americans also have difficulties with compliance to prescription medications due to their toxicity and side effects. This study aims to learn more about how a vitamin D nutritional supplement may improve nutritional status and enable the body to normalize system functioning,which may improve the quality of life for people with vitamin D deficiency. The results of this research will be used to determine if vitamin D is beneficial for overall health among elderly individuals.
The investigators are conducting this research because they want to determine if a dietary supplement, called Everycell™, has an effect on the functioning of the study participants' cells. The results of this research will be used to help develop additional strategies for trying to fight the effects of aging. The primary purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of Everycell™ compared to placebo (a pill that does nothing) on DNA damage, inflammation, stress, and related factors. Taking Everycell™ is not a medical prescription, treatment, or cure for any known disease or condition. Helping patients' nutritional status is important to prevent the continued worsening of chronic diseases and also to counteract the effects of aging. Americans also have difficulties with compliance to prescription medications due to their toxicity and side effects. This study aims to learn more about how a dietary supplement may improve nutritional status and enable the body to normalize cellular functioning, which may improve quality of life. The results of this research will be used to determine if Everycell™ is beneficial for overall cellular health and to counteract the effects of aging.
