Why Do You Need Vitamin D?

When most of us think about Vitamin D, we think about our bones because it helps regulate the absorption of calcium, which helps keep our bones strong. But, it does much more to keep your body healthy:

  • Fights depression
  • Boosts weight loss
  • Absorbs calcium and phosphorus
  • Keeps your immune system strong
  • Helps fight disease
  • Regulates insulin levels
  • Supports lung function and cardiovascular health
  • Influences the expression of genes involved in cancer development
