They reported that it boosted their overall health, and they felt better. They had an enhanced sense of control over their health.

A healthy body counts on a healthy, well-functioning immune system. Vitamin D plays a beneficial role in supporting a health immune system and aids fight challenges to it. Air pollution is a challenge as it can activate extreme immune responses: infection, cancer, auto-immune conditions. Inhaled air pollution typically settles on respiratory mucosa and influences the respiratory system. (We hear a lot about the respiratory system today.) Vitamin D supplementation is one strategy research suggests may enhance the immune system to combat such invasion. (3) Vitamin D is reportedly advantageous to improve and keep clinical depression at bay due to its homeostatic, immunomodulatory and neuroprotective roles. (4) Many from government, research and industry globally recognize that vitamin D deficiency is an extensive problem. All are working to find ways to deal with it and respond to the questions “How much vitamin D should I take daily?” and “How best do we ensure everyone gets that?” (5) Let us discuss this at your next chiropractic visit and set a plan to increase your vitamin D level and allow your body to ward off health-compromising problems.
