Vitamin D, aka the sunshine vitamin, plays an important role in helping the body absorb calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for strong bones and healthy teeth.But vitamin D does more than just strengthen bones new and continuing research suggests that up to 2,000 different genes are targeted by this nutrient. Vitamin D promotes health and wellness throughout the body, including increasing calcium absorption for stronger bones, and helping support a healthy immune system. Without enough vitamin D, the body may be working far below its potential.Many individuals, including people with dark skin and those who get limited exposure to the sun (especially in the winter) may not be getting enough vitamin D. And even for those who do get enough sun exposure, wearing sunscreen that helps to block the suns harmful rays can reduce the bodys ability to produce vitamin D by more than 90%. Other individuals who could benefit from more vitamin D include people with a reduced ability to absorb dietary fats, those who are overweight and older adults, as the bodys ability to make vitamin D declines with age
