Vitamin D is one of the most popular supplements in the U.S. It is excellent for bone strength, heart health, etc. However, Vitamin D deficiency is not talked about enough. Unfortunately, studies show that type 2 diabetes, IBS, and MS are more prevalent in individuals lacking Vitamin D. When looking into the different levels of Vitamin D, D3 is more effective at elevating vitamin D levels in the bloodstream than D2. In addition, D3 helps trigger a critical immune system response to bacterial and viral infections, while D2 has the opposite effect.

Although Vitamin D is a popular supplement, let’s take a deeper look into the benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids. Outside of sharing similar benefits, Omega-3 fatty acids can help with the following issues:

  • Depression and anxiety
  • Improve eye health
  • Can promote brain health during pregnancy and early life
  • Reduce the symptoms of ADHD in children
  • Reduce symptoms of metabolic syndrome
  • Fight against inflammation
  • Improve mental health disorders
  • Can fight age-related mental decline and Alzheimer’s Disease

The research was inspired by an older study that showed that when individuals receive enough Vitamin D from the sun and their diets, they can ward off diseases such as arthritis and inflammation.
