Vitamin D & Your Immune System
Vitamin D is an essential protecting and lifesaving strategist for the immune system. Sufficient levels of vitamin D reduce the risks of infections diease by streghtening our immune systems. A 2011 study affirms that, “vitamin D turns key peptides on in the immune system.
