Vitamin D acts more like a hormone than a vitamin. Like a hormone, it has a huge impact on how genes express or fail to express themselves. In fact, one in every 25 genes in the human body interacts with vitamin D. This means that the deficiencies may weaken the genetic infrastructure of our body and place us at risk for diseases such as cancer.

Besides preventing cancer, vitamin D is also needed for its strong bones and calcium absorption in the body.

The good news is that vitamin D can also be generated by exposure of the sun. However if you are looking to supplement vitamin D, understand that not all vitamin D is created equal. Research has demonstrated that vitamin D3 is the most powerful form of fighting cancer in our bodies.
