Recent Research Finds Vitamin D More Effective Than Flu Vaccines.

Recent research published in the British Medical Journal finds that vitamin D supplementation was significantly more effective than flu vaccines in preventing the flu.

Vitamin D was also shown to significantly reduce the risk of colds, flu, and pneumonia.

Vitamin D has also been shown to help other common problems like asthma, fibromyalgia, among other problems.

According to the British researchers, Vitamin D supplements could spare more than three million people from colds or flu in the UK each year.

Of course, this was in the UK. We have a much bigger population here in the United States!

This is important given the number of people with low and less than optimal vitamin D levels.
