Vitamin D

In recent years, vitamin D has been shown to decrease the risk of getting breast cancer. When different mechanisms of the vitamin D pathway are inhibited, breast cancer formation is favored. The two major forms of vitamin D, calcidiol and calcitriol, play a role in prevention. Vitamin D in the body can be measured by the serum concentration of calcidiol.
