Why Vitamin D is Important
Vitamin D is a hormone the kidneys produce that controls blood calcium concentration and impacts the immune system.
Vitamin D has its effects by binding to a protein (called the vitamin D receptor). This receptor is present in nearly every cell and affects many different body processes.
Adequate Vitamin D levels are directly linked to many functions within the body. For example:
- Boosts immune system
- Can decrease the risk of cancer
- Strengthen bones
- Increase alertness
- Promotes a healthy pancreas
- Decrease Hypertension
- Promote stable hormone levels in males and females
- Help aid weight loss
