Vitamin D & Skin Health
Did you know that your dry skin may be linked to insufficient vitamin D? According to a controlled study, researchers found that participants with low vitamin D had less average skin moisture. Vitamin D also affects skin health because it has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help protect skin cells. In addition, vitamin D plays a crucial role in thyroid health, a key hormone that keeps the skin, nails, and hair youthful and strong. Unfortunately, most people have a dietary vitamin D gap that results in poor vitamin D levels. The good news is that it's fixable. To help restore vitamin D in your body, doctors say supplementation can help keep levels steady, regardless of how much sun you get in daily life.
