Vitamin D, sometimes referred to as “the sunshine vitamin,” has long been recognized in helping build strong bones and preventing rickets, a softening or weakening of bones in children. New research is suggesting Vitamin D may have other important roles in heart health, regulating the immune system, and even in cancer prevention. Unfortunately, many adults and children often have low levels of Vitamin D and must rely on supplements to achieve the appropriate amounts of Vitamin D on a regular basis.
