Vitamin D Is Vital

Vitamin D has been gaining popularity as a nutrient that supports your overall health.

Up to 85% of us …

Research suggests that up to 85% of people could be deficient in Vitamin D without even knowing it. This can have detrimental effects to various system of your body. Recent studies indicate Vitamin D has significantly more benefits than just your bone health. These include:

• Heart health

• Skin health

• Aging process

• Sleep patterns

• Athletic performance

• Immune health

• Healthy mood and feelings of well-being

• Weight management, including carbohydrate and fat metabolism

Since adequate levels of vitamin D promote so many of your body’s functions, a deficiency may mean your body lacks the tools it needs to keep you in optimal health.

We recommend getting your Vitamin D levels checked regularly and taking supplements to ensure your levels are in the normal range. This is especially important in the Northwest, where sunlight exposure is very low during the winter months.

Be vital, check you Vitamin D!
