Let's Talk Vitamin D Studies

Today, we discuss some Vitamin D studies that have received a lot of attention from the media. We have with us Adrian “Fritz” Gombart, PhD, principal investigator from the Linus Pauling Institute and a professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at Oregon State University. Dr. Gombart’s research focuses on understanding how vitamin D status influences how well the immune system works, including the body’s ability to fight off infection. The Linus Pauling Institute is a world leader in the study of micronutrients, phytochemicals, and other dietary factors, and the role these compounds can play in promoting optimum health or preventing and treating disease. ◘ Related Links https://bit.ly/3dWFDUk ◘ Transcript https://bit.ly/3fAXvVa ◘ This podcast features the song “Follow Your Dreams” (freemusicarchive.org/music/Scott_Ho…ur_Dreams_1918) by Scott Holmes, available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial (01https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/) license. ◘ Disclaimer: The content and information shared in GW Integrative Medicine is for educational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice.
