Semba RD. Nutr Rev. 1998 Jan; 56:S38-48. Vitamin D’s role in immune health may be through assisting with the regulation of the white blood cells, T- and B-lymphocytes.^† Bikle DD.

In addition to supporting immune health, Vitamin D provides support for healthy bones.^† It helps develop strong bones and teeth by enhancing the absorption of calcium and phosphorus.^† Low levels of calcium in the blood signal the release of parathyroid hormone. This sends a message throughout the body to increase the absorption of dietary calcium and also slow the excretion of calcium which may have otherwise been lost.

The B vitamins are a group of water-soluble vitamins that work well together to support nervous system health.^† Together, the B-complex vitamins provide nourishment for the occasional stress of daily living.^† B complex vitamins promote energy metabolism, with each nutrient performing a unique role in maintaining proper metabolic functioning.^†
