Vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin found in few natural food sources, is synthesized in human skin after sun exposure. Insufficient and deficiency of vitamin D is very common in the world, which is thought to contribute to a wide range of health issues. Vitamin D has long been utilized in combination with calcium to improve bone health and reduce the risk of fractures. Vitamin D supplementation has been linked to the prevention of high blood pressure, cancer, and other diseases. Recent research also points to a possible association between vitamin D deficiency and chronic pain.
