Vitamin D – it’s not just for bones!
Vitamin D is essential not only for bone health and preventing conditions such as osteoporosis, but also plays a significant role in regulating the immune system, helping to fend off infections and reduce inflammation. Vitamin D deficiency may also potentially impact chronic disease outcomes. Dr Sohail Mushtaq will delve into the importance of the ‘sunshine vitamin’ and share the findings of research into vitamin D and health, conducted at the University of Chester.
