Vitamin D is a supplement that helps enable normal mineralization of bones. It also assists in both growth and bone remodeling. Without an adequate amount of Vitamin D the bones can become thin and brittle which can cause health concerns in the future. Vitamin D is also a great way to help boost the immune system, reduce inflammation and increase mood. Eating certain foods and getting sun exposure are the most common forms of getting Vitamin D besides supplementation. During the winter months in Minnesota, we do not see the amount of sun exposure that we do in the summer months. This being said we are most likely insufficient in our intake of Vitamin D. Starting a vitamin D supplement is a great way to help you feel better and improve your health.
