New studies have called vitamin D’s health benefits into question, but are they accurate?

Why it's Better To Combine Vitamin D With K!

After years of being heralded as a beneficial supplement, with many doctors testing blood levels and prescribing supplements to raise them, vitamin D is starting to become a bit controversial. Some doctors are questioning the wisdom of both testing and supplementation.

No one disagrees with the fact that vitamin D is essential. Until it began to be added to milk in the 1930s, weak bones (rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults) were major problems. Without enough vitamin D, the body can’t absorb calcium properly, and bones become thin, brittle, and sometimes deformed.

In recent decades, studies have found that adequate levels of vitamin D also contribute to many other aspects of health, including:

* Immunity

* Heart health

* Circulation

* Muscle function

* Reduced cancer risk

* Healthier babies

* Less diabetes

* Less osteoporosis

* Stable mood Less inflammation
