Vitamin D

Make sure you have your Vitamin D blood test done in your next check up (the test is called 25 OH Vit D). Vitamin D is actually a hormone. Best way to get enough is from sunlight. Adequate levels in blood have many favorable effects, including a decrease in cancer incidence (Boscoe FP et al. BMC Cancer. 2006 Nov 10;6:264)
