As the weather changes and we approach winter we also start into cold and Flu season. This winter is probably more relevant than any other year as we also fight a global pandemic with COVID-19. There has been some research that shows the promising effects of Vitamin D on our immune system.
Early research shows that Vitamin D has an effect on out T-cells .The T-cell is a type of Lymphocyte which i develops in the Thymus glans and plays a key role in immune response. Vitamin D is shown to to effect the T-cell by making them ‘primed’ in other words ‘ready’ or ‘prepared’ to respond to antigens and therefore provide a better immune response.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D has always been known as the sunshine vitamin because it is produced in your skin in response to sunshine. You can also get Vitamin D from certain foods, it is a fat-soluble vitamin and with our climate a deficiency in Vitamin D can have implications on over all well being, deficiency in Vitamin D can contribute to depression and anxiety , soft bones and brittle bones.
