We can combat depression and win the battle against depression through many avenues. Vitamin D being one of them.

Adequate amounts of Vitamin D help keep bones healthy and strong. It also improves brain function, encourages cell growth, benefits the immune system.

Lower levels of vitamin D are associated with memory loss and increased dementia risk.

Could low levels of Vitamin D contribute to depression?

Vitamin D is shows some impressive brain-protecting roles and is important to healthy brain function. Therefore, lower levels may indeed play a role in depression.

Your body absorbs vitamin D primarily through sun exposure, which is why many struggle with depression during the winter months.

Certain foods can also be sources of Vitamin D including:

• Mushrooms 
• Egg yolks
• Salmon and other fatty fish 

Vitamin D is often called the “sunshine” supplement. We recommend Frunutta’s Vitamin D because it is a pure vitamin that quickly dissolves in the mouth eliminating the artificial colors, flavors, chemicals and fillers found in other vitamins.
