Often called "SUNSHINE VITAMIN" it is not a vitamin at all, it's rather a hormone produced by the body when stimulated by sunlight.

 

What's most remarkable about Vitamin D is the sheer number of health issues it's been linked to. It affects cell death and proliferation, insulin production and immune system, as well as depression, heart disease, pregnancy problems, birth defects, skin and other cancers and multiple sclerosis.

 

Vitamin D regulates calcium and phosphorus, promotes cellular differentiation, is a potent anti-inflammatory and help regulate blood sugar levels and lower blood pressure among many other things.
