The little things that are often overlooked such as vitamin or mineral deficiency, have a major influence on people’s health. Lack of vitamin D levels in the body can increase the risk of cancer, such as bladder cancer.
A recent study conducted in Spain by the Spanish Cancer Research Center and published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Previous studies have been done that show that vitamin D can prevent breast cancer, colon cancer, and prostate cancer.
Thus, Dr. Nuria Malets and his team decided to focus on bladder cancer instead. Health experts recommend that maintain vitamin D3 levels from 40 to 60 ng / ml (nanograms per milliliter) to protect against cancer.
