Vitamin D: In addition to dr. Hadied's comments, vitamin d impacts conditions of the heart and blood vessels, including high blood pressure and high cholesterol. It's also important in diabetes, obesity, muscle weakness, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, copd, asthma, bronchitis, premenstrual syndrome (pms), and tooth and gum disease. Some research links deficiencies to depression also.
