World Health Organization has established that noncommunicable diseases are the leading cause of death, and the majority of these deaths are attributed to cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes. These are the exact diseases that respond so dramatically to optimal vitamin D levels.

FACT: Vitamin D in the 100- 150 nmol/L range could prevent 18,000 Canadian women (75%) from getting breast cancer and could prevent 15,000 Canadian men and women (67%) from getting colon cancer.

FACT: Approximately 50% of the complications of pregnancy (infections, pre-term labour, preeclampsia) could be prevented by having vitamin D levels in the 100- 150 nmol/L range.

FACT: According to 40 of the top vitamin D researchers and doctors, maintaining vitamin D levels in the range of 100-150 nmol/L has been linked to reducing the risk of asthma, upper respiratory infection, dental care and diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, cold and flu in the population.
