Product Description
Most people know that our human skin manufactures vitamin D from exposure to sunlight. And that those who live in Southern benefit from more exposure to sun. But new findings indicate that even Southerners may not get enough of this necessary vitamin throughout the year. Because the body does not manufacture vitamin D when needed, it must be obtained from sunlight or from food sources that most people do not eat.
In addition to the well-known benefits to our bones of Vitamin D, remarkable new findings show that many common diseases could be easily prevented with adequate intake of Vitamin D.
A recent article in Science News states "Over the past decade and especially the past 5 years, research has linked a broad range of additional benefits to having ample vitamin D. It's shown that the nutrient fights cancers and diabetes, is the pivotal feedstock for a hormone that protects muscle, and inhibits autoimmune disorders from multiple sclerosis and lupus to inflammatory bowel disease".
