For those of you, like us, who love to know the “why” behind your supplements, here are some of the studies I have reviewed in creating and selecting Vitamin D as a key supplement for Beyond Your Wildest Genes Nutrition.  Research estimates that most of our population in the US, Canada and Europe are Vitamin D deficient. The many, many ways your body needs Vitamin D make it  an essential supplement for almost everyone.

There are so many other great studies on the benefits of Vitamin D that I can’t list them all here, but I have selected some good ones and will add to this list as new ones are published.
