Specializes in Diabetology

Vitamin D: Vitamin D has many benefits beyond calcium balance. there are now studies suggesting beneficial effects on the immune system. Certainly if you had a history of kidney stones one could argue that vitamin D might not be in your interest, but, typically it is a desirale vitamin supplement

Dr Seibert and another doctor agreed
