Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin long known as essential for
promoting calcium absorption and thereby ensuring healthy bones.
Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin and brittle, with a
deficiency being a risk factor in osteoporosis.
A recent flood of research into vitamin D has investigated its role
in a wide variety of diseases, including heart disease, stroke,
hypertension, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, depression, chronic pain,
osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, muscle wasting, birth
defects, possibly autism, and periodontal disease.
Experts recommend taking vitamin D supplements on a regular basis
because food sources are extremely limited and our natural production
depends on exposure to the sun. |
