Vitamin D: More Than Sunshine!

Think Vitamin D is just for bone health? Think again!

Vitamin D is proving to be a game-changer in cancer therapy by supporting immune function and targeting cancer at multiple levels:

* Boosts immune defenses with more cytotoxic T-cells & natural killer cells

* Suppresses cancer-favoring immune cells within the tumor microenvironment

* Anti-inflammatory—targets IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-alpha

* Inhibits blood vessel growth (angiogenesis)

* Makes the tumor environment more accessible to the immune system

* Promotes cancer cell differentiation & enhances apoptosis

* Reduces invasion, metastasis, and even targets cancer stem cells

Even supplements can be repurposed to fight cancer.
