Associated with healthy blood vessel relaxation and blood flow. Nerve Health Journal of the American Medical Association study of 7 million US mility personnel indicates high circulating levels of vitamin D were associated with nerve and myelin health. May protect neural health by supporting immune function, nerve conduction potential, neuronal calcium regulation and antioxidant defense.
