Here at Body By Nature we believe that not one person is the same, just as not one pill is the same.
However we know for a fact that every human being needs Vitamin D, the lack of Vitamin D both in your diet and body can have a lasting, detrimental affect on your health.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble nutrient and is one of the 24 micronutrients critical to human survival. It is found naturally in fish and eggs and is also added to dairy products, but the sun is the major natural source of this particular nutrient.
Why Vitamin D is important
The body produces Vitamin D from cholesterol, provided adequate amounts of UV light from sun exposure. However, there are only sufficient amounts of UV light coming from the sun when the UV index is 3 or higher, which only occurs year-round near the equator between the 37th parallels. The skin requires direct sun exposure for the UVB rays to penetrate it.
Recent studies have found that a lack of vitamin D can in fact significantly accelerate tumour progression. This is because it causes greater expression of the gene ID1.
As well as having a risk of higher cancers, Vitamin D deficiency has also been linked to insulin resistance, diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.
