About the Vitamin D Council
The Vitamin D Council is a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) educational corporation in the State of California, founded in 2003 by Executive Director John J. Cannell, M.D., on the conviction that humans all over the world are needlessly suffering from vitamin D deficiency.
Our mission
Our mission is to end the worldwide vitamin D deficiency epidemic by means of outreach and awareness, treatment, research and activism.
Our approach
Outreach and awareness
Our foremost goal is to reach out, bring awareness and educate the general populace, the health industry, and policy makers on the importance of vitamin D. We bridge the gap between the latest peer-reviewed research on the health implications of vitamin D and the general populace, the health industry and policy makers.
Treatment
We believe every human ought to know their own vitamin D status and how they can effectively treat deficiency or insufficiency and maintain healthy vitamin D levels. We strive to educate the public on the measures they can take to treat their vitamin D deficiency.
Research
Peer-reviewed research on vitamin D and its association to various diseases and illnesses is the driving force behind our actions, and an area we closely monitor to best serve the public. There is an unprecedented amount of clinical research being conducted on vitamin D today, and we work hard to objectively process this information and bring it to the public’s attention in a quick and efficient manner.
Activism
With the quantity of research currently being conducted on vitamin D, evidence on the importance of this prohormone is outpacing the decision making of governments and agencies. The Vitamin D Council routinely makes recommendations to appropriate governmental agencies, in effort to educate policy makers and make an impact in their policy decision making.
