Episode 218: Shining a bright light on the Vitamin D evidence – Part II
In episode 218, Mike and James give you more and more Vitamin D love. We look at Vitamin D for MS, depression and upper respiratory tract infections and basically Vitamin D does nothing for these conditions – so go forth and share the love – which means not recommending Vitamin D for these conditions.
