Here’s a few interesting VITAMIN D UPDATES.

TOPIC #2 PREGNANCY AND FERTILITY

TOPIC #3 TANNING BED LAW

As I’ve mentioned in other posts, we’ve seen tanning bed usage increase people’s vitamin D levels.



As always I encourage you to visit the learning center on this blog for more information about vitamin D testing and treatment.
