Is……answering questions
hoping to improve health
For example…There has been research on the benefits of using
different forms of Vitamin D
Why is this important?Vitamin D can come from the sun, pills and food
Vitamin D absorbs calcium
Supplementary Vitamin D vs.
Natural Vitamin D from the Sun
…but sometimes it doesn’t
Vitamin D research…
…sometimes involves medicine
Another example…
Research could study the effects of movement on the human body.
These discoveries are made possible by community volunteers
