Why Vitamin D should be added to your cart ?

Vitamin D is said to be one of the most important nutrients for our health. It controls the regulation of more than 2,000 of the 30,000 human genes and plays a vital role in immunity and physical performance .Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, which directly helps in building stronger bones. There is a misconception among people when they hear “Vitamin D  and exposure to sun” people think taking a sunbath or soaking under sun is giving them enough Vitamin D which is utterly a misconception. Longer and concentrated exposure to the sun will give you the required vitamin D. However if you are living in non-equatorial latitudes, the sun rays may not be strong enough to produce vitamin D for 6 months . In total one billion people worldwide are Vit D deficient. Low Vitamin D levels can lead to sudden boss loss, low bones density, osteoporosis, and increases the chances of getting fractures.
