The world is currently in the midst of a ‘Vitamin D Revolution’. Emerging scientific research has linked low serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D levels to increased risk of many types of chronic diseases including many types of cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, as well as several types of bacterial and viral infections.
