DESCRIPTION:In the last 10 years it has become clear that vitamin D may hav
 e a wide range of physiological benefits beyond its well-recognised effect
 s on calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism.\n\nVitamin D-deficiency is c
 ommonly linked to the bone disease rickets\, but has recently been associa
 ted with other human health problems including common cancers\, autoimmune
  disease\, cardiovascular disease and adverse events in pregnancy.\n\nThes
 e extra-skeletal effects of vitamin D are best illustrated by its interact
 ion with the immune system\, with vitamin D demonstrating both antimicrobi
 al and anti-inflammatory immune activity. As a consequence\, vitamin D sup
 plementation has been explored for diverse immune disorders such as tuberc
 ulosis and autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis.\n\nHowever\, th
 e immunomodulatory effects of vitamin D have been extended further to incl
 ude acute respiratory infections such as common colds and influenza and\, 
 in the last year\, effects on Covid-19 infection.\n\nThe NUGO webinar will
  outline the research that has led to this new perspective on vitamin D an
 d the immune system\, and will also explore potential future applications 
 for vitamin D supplementation.
