Vitamin D - A review
Australian Family Physician, 12/04/08

Stroud ML et al. - This article discusses the actions, sources and measurement of vitamin D, and the treatment of established deficiency. It explores what is known about vitamin D, what remains to be discovered, and how clinicians should manage their patients in the interim. Vitamin D is produced by the same solar radiation that causes skin cancer and aging. Levels in breast milk are low in vitamin depleted breastfeeding women.
