The latest research on vitamin D focuses on the additional benefits it provides to children. Inadequate vitamin D levels can make the gut more prone to colonization by pathogenic bacteria and have been linked to incidence of childhood allergies and asthma and with an increased risk of developing chronic conditions later in life, including some types of auto-immune diseases.
