While vitamin D’s role in enhancing bone health is well established, recent studies demonstrated the safety and efficacy of peri-operative vitamin D supplementation in cardiac patients and its impact on post-operative outcomes. Chapters in this new release include discussions on Vitamin D and Immune Function, Vitamin D and Bone Heath, Vitamin D and Cardiovascular Disease, Vitamin D and Cancer, Vitamin D and Diabetes, Vitamin D and Neurological Diseases, Vitamin D and Celiac Disease, and much more.
- Provides the latest information on the possible mechanisms of action by the active metabolite of vitamin D, 1,25(OH) in immune cells
- Covers the beneficial roles of vitamin D in bone health, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancers, and celiac disease
- Discusses vitamin D's ability to reduce the risk of severity and death from viral diseases such as influenza, COVID-19, and the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
