What are the Benefits of Vitamin D - What Does It Do?



Vitamin D is essential for the human body to function properly. It regulates over 200 genes, in cells all over the body - including the brain, heart, kidney, bone, intestine, skin, gonads, prostate, breast, parathyroid gland, and immune system.

Vitamin D is important for bone health because it regulates calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood. It can suppress the immune system, to fight against conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, and Multiple Sclerosis. Or Vit. D can activate the immune system, to fight cancer and infections like TB, Pneumonia, and Flu, and decrease the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Vit. D helps prevent diabetes by modifying the release and response to insulin.
