Spotlight: vitamin D and the inner ear
The inner ear's otoconia are made of calcium carbonate, and vitamin D regulates calcium metabolism throughout the body. Researchers have studied vitamin D levels in people with inner-ear balance problems, and a randomized trial published in Neurology in 2020 examined vitamin D and calcium supplementation in people with low vitamin D and a history of positional vertigo. Vitamin D3 and Aquamin® minerals are two of VertiAid's core ingredients.
Spotlight: collagen and membranes
Collagen gives structure to connective tissues and membranes. VertiAid uses two sources: eggshell membrane, which also contains elastin and hyaluronic acid, and easily absorbed marine collagen peptides.
