You may be familiar with the importance of vitamin D for healthy bones and teeth, but did you know that vitamin D is also a key player in the function of our immune system, important for a healthy pregnancy, and is even associated with muscle recovery after exercise?
Some of the foods we eat contain small amounts of vitamin D, but we can also make this unique vitamin in our bodies when we absorb UV rays from sunlight.
Some people carry genetic variations that alter how they absorb and transport vitamin D in their bodies. This means the minimum recommendations for vitamin D may not be enough to maintain adequate blood levels in these individuals.
A Nutrigenomix test can tell you more about how your genes impact your unique nutrient requirements. In addition to Vitamin D, it can also tell you more about other key nutrients including calcium, iron, folate, vitamin B12, vitamin C and more.
