Here are some of the benefits of Vitamin D:
Immune booster: When T- lymphocytes of the immune system come across a pathogen, pathogen binds vitamin D molecule to activate itself. And hence, it helps to enhance the immune system.
Natural cancer can be cured: From its genetic messaging to its cytoskeleton, Vitamin D can adjust almost everything in the cancer cell. It can reduce cell division and can calm the cancer cells so that cells settle down rather than spreading in the other parts of the body.

Diabetes: Vitamin D aids in balancing sugar levels in the blood. This it does by regulating the insulin secretion in the body.
