Vitamin D Power and Your Health

You probably already know that Vitamin D builds strong, healthy bones. 

But that's only part of the story - and a small part at that. 

In fact, Vitamin D is essential for all-around good health. 

Without it, cells could not perform their functions and the brain would not fully develop.

Here are a few quick facts about Vitamin D:

• Vitamin D regulates calcium in all cells

• Vitamin D - not just for healthy bones - plays an important role for the brain

• Vitamin D deficiency can cause seizures

• A lack of sun exposure can lead to Vitamin D deficiency

• There is a link between Vitamin D deficiency and Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease

• Vitamin D protects the immune system

• Regulates cell growth and cell death

• Provides antioxidant and antiviral benefits

As little as 30 minutes in the sun can generate up to 50,000 international units (IU) of vitamin D. 

We now know that vitamin D is a powerful inhibitor of cancer development and growth.
