A Vitamin D Level of Over 40 ng/ml, May Reduce Cancer Risk By 67%

Your blood vitamin D level should ideally be at least 40 ng/ml. This appears to be the "magic" minimal vitamin D level, where a great number of health benefits occur. One of those benefits is reducing the chances of getting cancer by 67%. The cancers that you are less likely to get, include cancers of the breast, colon, prostate, ovaries, esophagus, lymphatic system, skin and even melanoma.

The health benefits of a good vitamin D level doesn't stop with cancer prevention. You will also significantly reduce the chances of heart disease, stroke, hypertension, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, cognitive decline, Alzheimer's disease and infectious diseases.
