    Vitamin D, an essential vitamin/hormone produced in the skin by ultraviolet radiation, is essential for calcium balance, bone density, immune function, and proper cell growth. Recent research suggests many individuals may be vitamin D deficient, especially those who do not get enough sun exposure, including people in northern latitudes.

    Ex: Sun, Bread

    Vitamin D has effects on the immune system, cancer prevention, multiple sclerosis, pain, heart disease, and bone density
