There are so many health benefits to taking Synbio that you might wonder why you haven’t used it before, or why vitamin D supplement or treatments are more widely known for that matter. Affordable, easy to use and highly effective, Synbio provides one of the essential vitamins we need to function at full health.
By subscribing to EveAdam, you can get the sunshine pill (or oral solution and liquid), as and when you need it. No queueing at the pharmacy, no having to remember to buy it, just vitamin D delivered to your door. You can set your own delivery schedule and get Synbio every month or three months. The choice is yours.
We should get most of our vitamin D from the sun by simply exposing our skin to it. Unfortunately for people in the UK, and other parts of the world where the sun is weak or extremely shy in the winter, that isn’t always easy.
This is where vitamin D supplements come in. They provide that precious sunshine in pill form, hence the name the sunshine pill, and its effects can have a major impact on mood and energy levels.
It’s likely that if you live in the UK during the winter months your vitamin D levels are going to drop significantly without taking a supplement. In fact, it’s estimated that a whopping one billion people worldwide are vitamin D deficient.[1]
Vitamin D is an essential vitamin. Its primary function is to keep your bones, teeth and muscles healthy, but it also affects other things too, from your mood to your energy levels. In severe cases, it can lead to brittle bones or deformities. Taking a treatment can help in these circumstances, but the supplement products will help prevent serious problems in the first place. As they say, prevention is better than the cure.
You will need a prescription to buy the treatment dosages of vitamin D as their use will need monitoring. But worry not, that only means filling in a short questionnaire so that one of our UK registered clinicians will be able to offer a range of the most suitable products. You’ll get your first package the next working day.
For supplements such as Synbio, you can buy them from your local pharmacist, but this means remembering to keep a steady supply going as they’re only as effective as your memory to take them. This is one of the most important advantages to buying online, it’s one less thing to worry about.
Synbio is vitamin D in capsule, oral solution or liquid form. A synthetic version of vitamin D3 called cholecalciferol, it can be used to treat serious health conditions and prevent deficiencies from occurring. It’s available as a vegan option too.
A severe lack of vitamin D over a prolonged period reduces the amount of calcium absorbed by the body. This, along with other factors such as low dietary calcium, leads to low density bones, known as osteoporosis.
Most significantly, taking a Synbio maintenance dose prevents severe deficiencies from occurring, but the benefits of taking vitamin D supplements don’t end there. Less severe deficiencies are associated with low mood, fatigue, impaired immunity and a heightened risk of some cancers.[2] It also keeps bones, teeth and muscles healthy.
There are different strengths of Synbio to choose from. At the stronger end there are 800 IU liquids and capsules. Drops are 100 IU but you can take four or eight drops for each dosage. The smaller doses are 400 IU and are available with liquids and capsules.
You’re probably used to medications being measured by weight, such as mgs or mcgs, so why do vitamins also use ‘IU’ and what does it stand for?
IU stands for international unit and instead of describing the weight of the pill’s active ingredient, it instead measures its potency. This is a more accurate way of indicating the vitamin’s effects in the body.
Subscribing to EveAdam has several advantages. Firstly, you don’t need to remember to buy it, something that is important for a daily supplement as your levels need to be maintained. It also means no queuing at your local pharmacy, it just turns up, at your door, as if by magic.
You can get Synbio delivered the next working day from EveAdam for the first order and then every month or three months after that. All packaging is discreet.
Instructions for Synbio are straightforward. Take it once a day, preferably with food. It doesn’t get any more simple than that. The key to get the most out of the treatment is to not skip or forget to take it.
Capsules are swallowed whole with water, but there are also liquid and oral solution versions of Synbio that some prefer if they have problems swallowing capsules or tablets. These can be added to food or taken directly. Drop doses are 0.5 or 1ml, which are the equivalent of 400 IU and 800 IU capsules respectively. For the oral solution, four drops amounts to 400 IU and eight drops to 800 IU.
It’s hard to take a dangerous amount of maintenance doses in one go unless it’s done purposely. Taking too much over a short period of time is more likely to happen with the powerful treatment doses, of which there are none for Synbio.
The biggest risk for supplements is when the recommended daily dose has been exceeded over a prolonged period of time. This can lead to serious health issues that will need immediate medical attention, so it’s important to follow the instructions carefully.
Side effects of Synbio are uncommon and usually relate to having high levels of calcium in the body when they do occur. Calcium levels are directly related to the level of vitamin D you’re taking, so as long as you’re not taking in too much vitamin D for your needs, it’s unlikely you’ll experience any issues.
The most common side effects are hypercalciuria (too much calcium in the urine) and hypercalcaemia (too much calcium in the blood). The symptoms of hypercalciuria include urinary tract infections, kidney stones, urination pain and unusually frequent urination.
Hypercalcaemia can be a serious condition, so it’s vital that if you notice any of the following symptoms you’ll seek medical help: extreme thirst and fatigue, constipation, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and apathy.
Even more rare than hypercalcaemia is allergic reactions. Despite the unlikelihood of them happening, it’s still important to know what to look out for in case they do present. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of the following: swollen lips, throat, face or tongue, problems breathing, hives, severe rashes and extreme itching.
Broadly speaking, there are two types of vitamin D, vitamin D2 and vitamin D3. So what are the differences?
Vitamin D3 is the more common form used in supplements and treatments. This is because D3 is better processed in the body. It’s also the form that’s used to fortify (added to) food stuff, such as cereals and margarines.
Yes, a significant amount of our vitamin D intake is from food. These can also be divided by the two vitamin D forms, with vitamin D2 found in vegetables and D3 in animal products. These include certain mushrooms, oily fish and dairy. It should be noted that you’re unlikely to get all the vitamin D you need from food sources.
Vitamin D3 in supplements are not necessarily vegan unfriendly, despite it being found in animal products. This is due to the fact that vitamin D supplements and treatments are synthetic, in a form called cholecalciferol. That doesn’t mean that products are always vegan friendly, let alone halal, kosher or gluten and dairy free as capsules and tablets can contain ingredients that might be unsuitable for some.
All Synbio products are vegetarian, gluten and dairy free, as well as halal and kosher. Most aren’t vegan, but there is a vegan friendly Synbio range that’s available.
What if I told you there’s a free source of vitamin D? One where you only need to expose your skin, something like your forearms, to the sun. Well believe it or not, that’s where we get most of our vitamin D.
As previously mentioned, that isn’t possible in winter for much of the world, but there’s another issue. The sun damages skin and burnt skin can lead to skin cancer, so while it’s important to get vitamin D from the sun, be sure to protect yourself too, particularly if you have fair skin.
For full information about Synbio you can read the product packaging that comes with the treatment.
Despite being a supplement, Synbio has the potential to cause health issues in rare circumstances. For this reason your clinician or pharmacist may need to know any conditions you have or any other medications and supplements you’re taking before recommending it.
There are a few conditions that make using Synbio inappropriate. These include sarcoidosis, hypercalciuria, hypercalcaemia, allergies to vitamin D or to any of Synbio’s ingredients, kidney disease and kidney stones.
It’s fairly rare, but there are a few medications or supplements that should be avoided when taking Synbio. These include: laxatives with paraffin oil, some epilepsy treatments, some hypertension treatments, glucocorticoids and cardiac glycosides.
