Vitamin D reduces the risk of heart attack.

Vitamin D may reduce the risk of heart disease in people over 60 years of age. The effectiveness of the supplement is enhanced if the person is taking medication for heart health. These conclusions were made by Australian scientists in the course of a six-year study involving 21,000 residents of the country aged 60-84 years. It turned out that those who regularly took vitamin D all this time, a heart attack occurred 19% less often than in the placebo group.
