Vitamin D: Support For a Healthy Heart

Vitamin D plays an important role in promoting bone strength, and adequate levels of vitamin D may help support breast health†*. Now emerging research shows that vitamin D may play a role in supporting heart health††*, too! Help give your heart the support it needs by:

  • Getting regular exercise
  • Following a diet that is low in total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium
  • Enjoying foods and beverages that are high in fiber and vitamins and minerals important for heart health
  • Maintaining adequate vitamin D levels
Many cells in the body need vitamin D to function properly – including cells in blood vessels and arteries. Vitamin D has been shown to help keep blood vessels and arteries flexible and stretchy, which helps maintain normal blood pressure.

Adequate levels of vitamin D can also help protect against the build up of plaque that clogs artery walls. In addition, vitamin D works in the kidney to help keep blood pressure in check.
