The ABCs of Vitamins D & E

with Maret Traber and Adrian Gomart from the Linus Pauling Institute

They boost immune function, cardiovascular health, and bone development. “Take your vitamins” is a common refrain around the dinner table. Even advertisers promote their virtues. But more is not necessarily better when it comes to vitamins. And some forms are better than others. Learn about the latest research in this presentation by two leaders in the field. Maret Traber and Adrian Gombart study vitamins E and D respectively at Oregon State University’s Linus Pauling Institute (LPI), one of two centers of excellence funded by the National Institute for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. They will describe recent findings from their own labs and challenges confronting the research community.
