• Abstract: Vitamin D, often primarily associated with bone health, emerges as a micronutrient with profound impacts on various facets of human health. This review addresses recent studies exploring its role not only in bone mineralization but also in areas like immunomodulation, mental health, and cardiovascular function. The consolidated insights highlight the imperative of maintaining adequate vitamin D levels and underscore the need for further research to gain a broader understanding of its potential therapeutic applications.
