Vitamin D

Vitamin D – one in four people don’t get enough. And why, when you can easily get it from consuming dairy products?

Vitamin D is involved in bone health, regulating calcium levels in the blood, and our immune function and response. In children, Vitamin D helps build, harden and strengthen bones. A deficiency in vitamin D can leave bones soft, encourage malformations, and increase the risk of fractures and bone disease in adulthood.
