The Vitamin D Deficiency Crisis
A significant concern among women ages 19 to 50 is the alarming statistic that 97% are not receiving adequate vitamin D. This deficiency is particularly pronounced in regions like the Midwest, where short winter days reduce sun exposure, leading to low vitamin D levels. In response, supplements like Ritual's Essential for Women 18 Plus have been shown in clinical studies to effectively boost vitamin D levels by 43%. This underscores the importance of addressing nutritional gaps to support women's health.
