Now more than ever Vit D is being touted all over the media, and for good reason. We all know that Vit D is now considered more of a hormone than a vitamin because our body is supposed to produce it from sunlight, and this fat soluble vitamin is also responsible for regulating over 200 genes in our DNA on a daily basis! Did you know Vit D is also important for regulating and maintaining tight junctions in the GUT? Vit D in addition to helping bone mineral density, also aids in our immune system.
New research is also showing some with genetic polymorphisms (VDR) that are affecting Vit D production, and these individuals will most likely benefit from increased supplementation.
