WHAT IS VITAMIN C Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in very few foods and added to others through fortification. It is also available as a dietary supplement. Vitamin D2, or ergocalciferol, is plant-derived, while vitamin D3, cholecalciferol, is animal-derived. Vitamin D is also produced endogenously when ultraviolet rays from sunlight strike the skin and trigger vitamin D synthesis. The skin synthesis is reduced by clothing, sunscreen, air pollution, older age, darker skin pigmentation, being indoors, winter season, and higher latitude. Vitamin D3 is the preferred form because it is more effective at raising and maintaining adequate levels of circulating vitamin D in the body. As scientific research into vitamin D matures, the ubiquity of its influence and breadth of its importance is becoming realized. To date, strong evidence supports vitamin D’s role in bone, teeth, muscle and immune health. Vitamin D supports strong bones and teeth by aiding in calcium absorption from food and supplements, helping to regulate calcium and phosphorus homeostasis, and regulating bone remodeling processes.Vitamin D deficiency leads to bone deformation and softening, manifested as rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. Along with calcium, vitamin D is needed for normal bone mineralization processes, and insufficient intake of these nutrients increases one’s risk for thin, brittle bones (osteoporosis), falls and fractures. Additionally, normal neuromuscular function requires vitamin D, and our immune system cells need vitamin D to effectively perform their intended function. Vitamin D receptors have been discovered in cells and tissues throughout the body and emerging research on its extraskeletal role is being investigated.

Did you know that 75-90% of people in the United States are vitamin D deficient? Vitamin D is known as the “sunshine vitamin” since your body produces it as a result of sun exposure, but environment, age and even sunscreen use can affect how much vitamin d your body produces. Help cover vitamin d gaps in your diet, especially if you have decreased sun exposure or live in northern latitudes, with a Vitamin D supplement. Vitamin d is essential because it helps your body absorb calcium, making it a critical part of healthy bones and teeth, Plus, vitamin d also functions in immune health and healthy muscle function. New research shows vitamin D also supports colon health. While it’s often hard in today’s society to get enough vitamin d through your diet and exposure to sun, taking a vitamin d supplement is a great way to promote proper vitamin d levels and enhance calcium absorption. Unfortunately, most Americans don’t get enough vitamin d from their diets. Living environments and work habits also limit sun exposure and can be risk factors for a vitamin d deficiency.BONE and TEETH HEALTH SUPPORT – Health conscious people looking to support strong and healthy bones and teeth, know that vitamin d is a must-have vitamin supplement. Vitamin d manages how much calcium gets distributed to your blood, bones and digestive system. Specifically, however, vitamin d aids calcium absorption into your bones, which helps build them up and stay strong.GREAT FOR PROMOTING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM – Vitamin D supports the immune system. Immune cells throughout our bodies have receptors for vitamin D that support differentiation, activation and proliferation of these cells. Vitamin D deficiency is also associated with diminished immune function.COMBATS VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY – Aside from the vitamin d we get from our time spent out in the sun, there are many food sources of vitamin d as well. Fish like salmon, sardines, mackerel and tuna are excellent sources of vitamin d, as is cod liver oil. To a lesser extent eggs and raw milk and mushrooms contain vitamin d as well.
