Program Overview:
Vitamin D, and specifically the hormone our body produces from vitamin D, is the body’s most important regulator of calcium absorption. Indeed, scientists now know that people low in vitamin D absorb 65% less calcium than those with adequate levels of this vitamin. Subsequently, needless osteoporotic fractures are much more common in folks with low levels of vitamin D, and the incidence of fractures can be dramatically reduced with vitamin D supplementation. This knowledge based program will enhance the health care providers understanding of vitamin D.
