Vitamin D-3
Vitamin D was considered nothing more than a secondary nutrient that helped the bone-building mineral make its move from the belly to the bloodstream and eventually plant itself in the skeleton. In time past, Vitamin C was considered the most important vitamin but now new research suggests that Vitamin D may be one of the best vitamins of all for your body. It has uncovered up to 2,000 different genes, roughly one-sixth of the human genome, that are regulated by the nutrient meaning almost everything your body does relies on it.
"It affects cell death and proliferation, insulin production, and even the immune system," says Michael F. Holick, Ph.D., M.D., Director of the Vitamin D, Skin, and Bone Research Laboratory at the Boston University Medical Center.
Translation: Low Vitamin D will result in your body working far below it's potential. And you're probably not getting anywhere near the right amount. Here's why you'll be hearing a lot more about it and how you can score what you need to avoid a Vitamin D deficiency and make your body function at it's absolute max.
