Vitamin D is renowned for the differentiation of blood cells during hematopoiesis. It also helps adult stem cells to regenerate speedily.

Lower quantities of Vitamin D lead to improper functioning of Vitamin D Receptors (VDR) and lowers the efficiency of cell differentiation leading to the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells.
