The effects and benefits of this vitamin are magical, yet 75% of adults are Vitamin D deficient, which can cause major health issues, that you wouldn't even associate with Vit D deficiency.
Winter is upon us and colds and maybe the flu are inevitable if you are lacking Vit D.
Vit D supports a healthy immune system and is naturally in your body from sun exposure... That's why people tend to get less sick in the Summer time!
It's hard to get all of the Vit D you need simply through diet, so supplementation is recommended. I AM NOT A DOCTOR, so please consult your doctor when it comes to supplementing Vitamin D. Too much Vit D can be toxic.
Me personally, I take a supplement of 1000 IU every other day because my multivitamin contains Vit D already.
Stay healthy and happy!!

- It helps better absorb CALCIUM. That's why you now see many supplements, milk, OJ fortified with Calcium AND Vitamin D. Calcium ALONE can actually make your bones MORE fragile, so it's important it is accompanied by Vitamin D.
- It can reduce the risk of diabetes
- It can help with depression and/or avoiding the winter "blues" as Vitamin D boosts your mood!
