    Urinary incontinence research shows there's one thing many of the 10 million women struggling with it share: low levels of vitamin D3. It makes them (you?) a whopping 170 percent more likely to leak than those with healthy D3 levels. Why? The vitamin may improve the muscle tone in your sphincter -- the muscle that stops dribbles -- and that could keep you out of adult diapers.
