Yes, take every day!: Vitamin D acts like a hormone, regulating Calcium and Phosphate in your body. The two main supplemental types are D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (Cholecalciferol- made by skin when exposed to sun, available as supplements). Vitamin D Supplementation has been shown to support healthy bones, immunity and mental health, reduce cancer risk, Alzheimers risk, heart disease, diabetes and arthritis.
