Boost Your La Grande Health with the Power of Vitamin D
Often called the "sunshine vitamin," Vitamin D is a powerhouse nutrient that plays a key role in keeping you healthy. From strengthening your bones to carry your spine, it’s a must-have for health fans, wellness lovers, and La Grande chiropractic patients at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC alike.
WHAT MAKES VITAMIN D SO IMPORTANT?
Vitamin D helps regulate calcium and phosphorus in your blood—two minerals your body requires keeping bones robust and healthy. Low levels of this vitamin can lead to serious issues like soft bones (osteomalacia in adults or rickets in children) and greater risks of fractures. Studies even link vitamin D deficiency to reduced bone mineral density (BMD), which can lead to long-term spinal problems. (1)
For chiropractic patients at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC, good vitamin D levels are especially valuable. Stronger bones support a healthier spine, which means better posture, lesser aches, and greater mobility. Bone nutrition is so important! It’s the ideal partner to La Grande chiropractic care!
