Vitamin D in Children and Adults - 1 Contact Hour

Course overview

This podcast discusses a very important vitamin: Vitamin D! Vitamin D plays a role in maintaining strong bones, but it also has numerous other effects on the body related to overall health and function from birth until death! Many may not be aware of how multifaceted the role of vitamin D is for multiple body systems to function well. They may also not be aware of how low their intake might actually be related to times of the year, lifestyle factors, or dietary consumption. Join us for a discussion of whether vitamin D is a vitamin or a hormone, differences between vitamin D2 and D3, and sources of vitamin D. Is the sun all you need? Will food provide what you need? Or, is there more to learn to make sure your vitamin D status is decent, not diminishing?
