Vitamin D and Health, Volume 109 reviews the versatility of vitamin D in enhancing the immune system and its potential role in combating many chronic diseases. 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.
