Vitamin D is a hormone the kidneys produce that controls blood calcium concentration and impacts the immune system. It is also known as calcitriol, ergocalciferol, calcidiol and cholecalciferol.
Should we really take vitamin D supplements? Is there a connection between low vitamin D levels and cancer? Are you even able to absorb enough from vitamin D supplements? What should our vitamin D levels be? Can adequate vitamin D levels reduce our cancer risk? Can we increase the absorption of vitamin D supplements?
