36 Organs Require Vitamin D

Research by Anthony Norman of UC Riverside, which was published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, points to vitamin D as an essential nutrient for 36 different organs. In the past vitamin D has gotten the most attention for its association with skeletal health, warding off diseases like osteoporosis and rickets, but this new research points out that vitamin D is integral for intestinal, kidney, skin, lung, and stomach health as well.
