Vitamin D
Our Naturopaths Say
Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for the human body. It is necessary for the absorption of calcium, which is important for the development and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. Vitamin D is also involved in the functioning of the immune system, and may help protect against certain chronic diseases. In addition, vitamin D is important for the regulation of cell growth and the absorption of phosphorus. The body can produce vitamin D naturally when the skin is exposed to sunlight, but it can also be obtained from certain foods, such as fatty fish and fortified dairy products. Ensuring that the body has an adequate supply of vitamin D is therefore important for overall health and well-being. Our team of accredited naturopaths can assist in making sure you're meeting your daily vitamin D requirements.
