Vitamin D showed, among others, a beneficial interaction with multiple processes executed by the immune system and several effects on immune cells. Moreover, vitamin D deficiency at a young age could predispose to immunological diseases and a malfunctioning immune system. Several studies showed that vitamin D supplementation could be a beneficial strategy for improving health, for instance, preventing bacterial and viral infections and decreasing the severity of these diseases.
