New eLearning Course: Importance of Vitamin D
Vitamin D is extremely important for human health.
It's also misnamed because it's really a hormone, not a vitamin.
Your body makes Vitamin D when your skin is exposed to the right wavelengths of sunlight, so Vitamin D isn't a substance that has to come from outside of your body.
And yet with today's indoor lifestyles, the use of sunscreen and the limited times of year when people outside of equatorial zones can get the right type of sunlight, most people are quite deficient in Vitamin D levels.
HELPcare Medical Director David Strobel, M.D. highlights the importance of Vitamin D and previews our new eLearning course:
In Importance of Vitamin D, Dr. Strobel covers:
- How your body makes Vitamin D and its role in bone health
- Additional Vitamin D benefits, including immune system support
- Vitamin D deficiency and supplementation
- Optimizing Vitamin D Levels
