Do you frequent the beach and eat tons of salmon? If not, you may not be getting enough Vitamin D.

UltraMetabolism Blog: Why you are probably NOT getting enough vitamin D…

There’s no doubt about it: Vitamin D is an incredible asset to your health.

First, it reduces cellular growth (which promotes cancer) and improves cell differentiation (which puts cells into an anti-cancer state). That makes vitamin D one of the most potent cancer inhibitors — and explains why vitamin D deficiency has been linked to colon, prostate, breast and ovarian cancer.

What’s even more fascinating?

How vitamin D actually regulates and controls genes.

It acts on a cellular docking station called a receptor that then sends messages to our genes. That’s how vitamin D controls so many different functions — from preventing cancer, reducing inflammation, boosting mood, easing muscle aches and fibromyalgia, and building bones.
