Vitamin D is one of the vitamins needed by the body. Vitamin D has only been known to ordinary people to have benefits in bone health. But not many people know that vitamin D is also beneficial for endurance, namely vitamin D can fight bacteria / germs that enter the body so as to prevent a person from experiencing disease. Therefore, the purpose of this service is to provide and provide information to Muhammadiyah elementary school teachers so that they have knowledge about the benefits of vitamin D for endurance. The method of approach taken is through a participatory approach (participatory approach).
