Vitamin D

Vitamin D is perhaps most well known for its role in calcium absorption to promote bone health. Sufficient vitamin D intake is required to maintain strong healthy bones and decrease the risk of developing bone disorders such as rickets in children and osteoporosis in adults. This fat soluble vitamin also plays a key role in immunity and mood. Unlike any other vitamin, vitamin D is best acquired in the skin via sun exposure, as few foods contain decent levels of this nutrient. As decent sun exposure is not possible for many, vitamin D supplementation may be worth considering. Check out our blog article for more information.
