IADSA's latest 'Mind the Gap' resource highlights vitamin D for reducing risk of falling
Share on social to help CRN and IADSA spread the word about the important role of vitamin D in keeping our bones strong and keeping us on our feet.
IADSA—the International Alliance of Dietary/Food Supplement Associations—is rolling out a new story in its "Mind the Gap" series, this time promoting the role of vitamin D in reducing the risk of falling among older adults. Officially launching on June 1, the new story builds on IADSA's "Bridging the Vitamin D Gap" resource, detailing how vitamin D supports muscle function, strength, and body balance to prevent dangerous falls.

"Mind the Gap" is an information resource created by IADSA to facilitate sharing of positive stories about the benefits that supplements offer to consumers all over the world and society at large. Learn more here.

CRN is a member of IADSA, with President & CEO Steve Mister currently serving as vice chair. CRN applauds IADSA's efforts and is aligned in educational efforts of its own about vitamin D with the newly-launched "Vitamin D & Me!" consumer education campaign.
