“Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is stored in the liver and fatty tissues of the body. Perhaps best known for its role in maintaining calcium balance and bone health, vitamin D plays critical roles in many physiological processes.”

“Tendons are essential for force transmission between muscles and bones. However, as people age, tendons lose collagen and stiffen, impairing athletic performance and increasing injury risk.”

“For example, for every additional cup of tea or coffee the women consumed, their risk decreased by 4 percent. And although calcium and vitamin D play important roles in bone health, their consumption reduced hip fracture risk only in women who were underweight.”

“Evidence suggests that supplemental hydrolyzed collagen consumption improves skin aging, decreases arthritis-induced pain, increases bone mineral density, and decreases hypertension. Learn more about hydrolyzed collage in our overview article.”

“Then they infected the mice with a type of bacteria that commonly causes pneumonia to see how their immune systems responded. They found that after just four hours, the white blood cell numbers in the blood of fasting mice decreased by 90 percent, having accumulated in the bone marrow.”

“Although vitamin D is best known for its role in bone health, this fat-soluble vitamin participates in many physiological processes, such as blood pressure regulation, immune function, and cell growth. Now, new research shows that vitamin D also supports neurodevelopment.”

“In addition, chronic heavy alcohol use has adverse effects on bone health, increasing the risk of fractures during weight-bearing activities. These findings highlight the harmful effects of chronic alcohol consumption on heart cells at the molecular level.”

“These findings suggest that regular consumption of foods rich in vitamin K1—such as kale, spinach, broccoli, and plant oils—may help protect older women against both early artery changes and serious cardiovascular events later in life.
