Vitamin D

Did you know that Vitamin D is known as the sunshine vitamin?

That’s because it’s made in your skin when exposed to sunlight. Every cell in your body has a receptor for vitamin D. This vitamin is involved in many processes. One important function is that our immune systems need vitamin D to fight off invading bacteria and viruses! Vitamin D has other roles in the body, including modulation of cell growth, neuromuscular  function, and reduction of inflammation.

You can also get Vitamin D through certain foods and supplements to ensure adequate levels of the vitamin in your blood. 

Now, in spite of those methods, Vitamin D deficiency is considered to be one of the most common nutrient deficiencies in the world.
