This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This issue features internationally renowned experts who have provided their expertise on a variety of topics related to the importance of vitamin D.

This includes its role in autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes mellitus, cancer especially breast and prostate, skin, neurological and cognitive disorders, and infectious diseases such as tuberculosis. We now know that adequate levels of vitamin D it is important in preventing falls and fracture.
