As our knowledge increases of ways vitamin D is vital to our health, it is also increasing as to how lifestyle factors have created higher levels of vitamin D insufficiency. Diminished time outside, frequent use of sunscreen, and living at latitudes with scarce winter sunlight can all negatively affect vitamin D levels. Vitamin D’s role in helping the body absorb and retain both calcium and phosphorus is critical to building bone. Physician monitoring of vitamin D blood levels is recommended with higher potency vitamin D products. * Vitamin D plays a role in:
- Maintaining healthy bone*
