Vitamin D has a significant impact on our entire body — it’s essential for many processes, from ensuring calcium in the bones to strengthening the immune system. We usually get it from food, supplements, and sunlight, but when something goes wrong and we become deficient in vitamin D, our body may stop working properly.
