Vitamin D
WELLNESS BOOSTER
Vitamin D
A human body produces Vitamin D as a response to sun exposure.
This vitamin promotes calcium absorption in the gut and maintains adequate serum calcium and phosphate concentrations to enable normal mineralization of bone and to prevent spasms of the hands and feet.
Health Benefits
Reduced Risk Of Flu: A 2018 review of existing research suggested that some studies had found that vitamin D had a protective effect against the influenza virus.
Rapid Correction of Deficiency: In cases of severe deficiency, injections can quickly raise vitamin D levels in the body, as they are directly absorbed into the bloodstream.
Improved Bone Health: Vitamin D plays a crucial role in calcium absorption, promoting bone health and preventing conditions like osteoporosis.
Enhanced Immune Function: Adequate levels of vitamin D may support the immune system, helping the body fight infections and reducing the risk of certain diseases.
Mood Regulation: Some research suggests that adequate vitamin D levels can positively impact mood and may help alleviate symptoms of depression.
Muscle Strength: Vitamin D is thought to aid in muscle function and strength, potentially reducing the risk of falls and fractures, especially in older individuals.
Important:
Although the body can create vitamin D, a deficiency can occur for many reasons:
• Skin Type: Darker skin can reduce the body’s ability to absorb the ultraviolet radiation B (UVB) rays from the sun. Absorbing sunlight is essential for the skin to produce Vitamin D.
• Sunscreen: A sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 can reduce the body’s ability to synthesize the vitamin by 95% or more. Covering the skin with clothing can inhibit vitamin D production also.
•Geographical location: People who live in northern latitudes or areas of high pollution, work night shifts, or are homebound.
