The elusive "Fountain of Youth" is a tantalizing concept all women dream of.
We’ve all had those moments, looking in the mirror, wondering if there was a potion that could promise enduring youthfulness and grace just waiting to be found.
Scientists have scoured the Earth for natural age-defying wonders — supple skin, an agile mind, boundless energy.
They've come full circle back to a well-known friend: Vitamin D.
It's often called the 'sunshine vitamin' because it's what our bodies naturally produce when we bask in the sun's rays.[1]
But here's the stark reality:
Despite the fortification of many processed foods with vitamin D, a staggering number of women are still falling short.
According to government estimates, a whopping 97% of women do not meet the estimated average requirement (EAR) of vitamin D from food and beverages alone.
This means that almost one in every two women is deficient in this essential nutrient.[2]
