Im currently researching Vitamin D - here are some of the things it does for us: 1. necessary for absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus 2. necessary for normal growth and development of bones and teeth 3. protects against muscle weakness 4. involved in the regulation of the heart beat 5. important in prevention and treatment of breast and colon cancer, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and hypocalcaemia (low blood calcium levels) 6. enhances immunity 7. necessary for thyroid function 8. necessary for normal blood clotting Hmmm! The research also says dont rely on the sun to give you adequate levels either - even here with our abundance of sunshine. Your GP can order blood tests to give you your Vitamin D levels. This list of benefits comes from Prescription for Nutritional Healing A - Z Guide to Supplements - 5th Ed (2010) by Phyllis Balch - and the journal articles and other texts read support this information.
