Did You Know About Vitamin D and Sleep????

Vitamin D is very important in the production of the sleep-regulating hormone melatonin.
People whose exposure to sunlight may be minimal can suffer from insufficient amounts of vitamin D, which is required for calcium metabolism to prevent osteoporosis. Sunshine is the stimulus to vitamin D formation in skin.
Vitamin D is also good for the immune system and may help in reducing inflammation.

Many People believe that eating a well balanced diet provides all the vitamins and minerals necessary for good health. In ideal circumstances, this is the case, but in reality there are many reasons why you need vitamin supplements to cope with living in the twentieth century environment.
