Description
Vitamin D helps regulate and control the metabolism of Calcium and Phosphorus by aiding in the absorption of these 2 minerals from the small intestine, and by directly affecting the rate at which these minerals form and maintain bone. Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is a form of vitamin D that the body manufactures when skin is exposed to UV radiation from the sun. It’s converted from food sources and sunlight into its active form, calcitriol, by the liver and kidneys. Vitamin D is necessary for the maintenance of healthy calcium and phosphorous levels in the body. Calcium, the main structural element in bones and teeth, can only be absorbed by the body when vitamin D is present. It is therefore essential for building and maintaining healthy bones and teeth. It's also believed to contribute to increased muscle strength, which may help improve balance and reduce the risk of falls among the elderly. It's estimated that a significant percentage of adults suffer from vitamin D deficiency which is associated with a variety of health complications. The elderly, alcoholics and strict vegetarians are particularly at risk for deficiency and should consider regular supplementations. Individuals with darker skin pigments may also be at increased risk, as darker skin contains higher levels of melanin, which may inhibit the skin's ability to produce vitamin D from sunlight. Also, people with intestinal malabsorption, hyperthyroidism, liver or kidney disease, or pancreatic conditions may be at risk. Vitamin D deficiencies are common among those with overactive parathyroid glands. This gland is responsible for maintaining calcium levels, which is vital for proper functioning of the muscular and nervous systems. One study found that insufficient levels of immune cells were produced in the thymus glands or laboratory animals with vitamin D deficiencies. However, a normal 8 week vitamin D intake led to healthy levels.
