Introduction

The Power of Vitamin D: An Update on Its Role in Health and Disease investigates how Vitamin D deficiency contributes to the onset, progression, and severity of a wide spectrum of diseases. Rooted in molecular biology and clinical evidence, the book presents a contemporary, research-driven examination of Vitamin D and its influence on human health.

The book explains the underlying molecular pathways through which inadequate Vitamin D levels disrupt physiological balance. Providing insights into immune modulation, inflammation, cellular signaling, and gene regulation offering a comprehensive understanding of Vitamin D’s multidimensional role in disease mechanisms.

Bridging basic science and clinical relevance, this volume serves as an essential update for professionals and researchers investigating the therapeutic and preventive implications of Vitamin D.

Key Features

  • - Explores molecular mechanisms linking Vitamin D deficiency to major diseases.
  • - Highlights evidence-based insights spanning oncology, neurology, metabolism, and infectious diseases.
  • - Integrates basic scientific concepts with clinical perspectives for holistic understanding.
  • - Supports current research through clear explanations, updated findings, and interdisciplinary coverage.

Target Readership:
