Description*

It's important to maintain healthy Vitamin D levels in the body because Vitamin D receptors are found throughout the body, where they play a number of vital roles. Vitamin D is an essential fat-soluble vitamin with numerous effects on cells throughout the body including bones, teeth, muscles, hormone regulation, and the immune system. Its essential because it’s a nutrient that the body cannot synthesize on its own, or not to an adequate amount, and as a result - must be provided by the diet or through supplementation. 

Research shows that 95% of Americans don’t get enough Vitamin D from their food alone, and at least 40% of the US population has either insufficient or deficient blood levels of Vitamin D (less than 30ng/ml). This is why it's essential for us all to find ways to get additional Vitamin D through supplementation and/or food sources to ensure we have enough to stay healthy. While we can make some Vitamin D from being outside in the sun, we need regular full-body exposure to get enough, which is near impossible, and sunscreen blocks Vitamin D production. Also, people who are overweight or obese, and those with darker-pigmented skin are at higher risk of Vitamin D deficiency. Check with your healthcare practitioner to measure your levels of Vitamin D in the blood however, most adults have to supplement with Vitamin D year-round to maintain healthy levels.
