Vitamin D: A Comprehensive Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
Consumption of Vitamin D supplements improves metabolic factors, reduces oxidative stress, cardiovascular benefits and plays an important role in the second trimester of pregnancy as it is needed for the growth and development of the foetus. The potential for innovative therapeutic approaches and preventive techniques emerges as studies on the potential role of vitamin D on health and sickness continue to disclose new dimensions, making this an intriguing subject for future exploration.
