We’ve been hearing a lot about the importance of vitamin D recently. In addition to its contribution to bone health, this versatile nutrient:

1. Plays a role in defending against cancer (studies link deficiencies of vitamin D to as many as 18 different cancers).
2. Protects against multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.
3. Normalizes insulin secretion and regulation.
4. Can help with the regulation of heart and blood pressure.
5. Has been linked to improved muscle strength and optimized brain activity.

My current recommendation for supplementation is 1,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily - visit my Vitamin Advisor for more information and to see if vitamin D is recommended for you.
