It gets converted into a steroid hormone, very, very important, very important. It's a steroid hormone regulating, you know, 5% of the human genome. So, without it, lots of stuff's going wrong.
But, you know, there's a lot of things that regulate whether or not you can make vitamin D, right, where you live. How much melanin you have in your skin, that's a natural sunscreen, if you wear sunscreen or if you have a lot of protective clothing. As you get older, you're four times less efficient at making it. So lots of things, right? So that's where the supplement does help.
