What is Vitamin D

When we think Vitamin D, we think sunshine, but that’s not all it’s known for. Vitamin D promotes intestinal calcium, phosphorous absorption, and reduces urinary calcium loss essential for maintaining proper calcium levels in the body and for healthy bone composition. Vitamin D also supports both cardiovascular and colon health, which is believed to provide general cellular support for the breast and prostate tissue. Vitamin D’s role in immune health has long been established; Vitamin D receptors are found on a number of immune cells, including lymphocytes and macrophages for supporting healthy immune cell activation.

Benefits to Vitamin D:

• Good for healthy bones
• Reduced risk of flu
• Reduced risk of diabetes
• Healthy infants
• Healthy Pregnancy
• Cancer prevention
• Breast, Colorectal, Prostate, & Pancreatic

Different Forms of Vitamin D

Vitamin D has a few forms of itself, there is Vitamin D2, and Vitamin D3. Vitamin D is what you get from the sun, it’s the natural vitamin. Vitamin D2 is produced by plants. Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is produced when the sunlight hits your skin, and also can be found through food sources.

It's not hard to make up for your lack of Vitamin D, whether you take a Vitamin D supplement, or get it from the foods you eat. It’s just about finding a balance to prevent any complications.

Vitamin D Deficiencies

Vitamin D deficiencies can still occur, even though your body creates Vitamin D. Things, such as sunscreen use and skin color, can affect the bodies ability to collect the sunlight you need to create your Vitamin D. Sunscreen was created to keep your skin safe from the sun, but it can cause some deficiencies. Sunscreen with even as little as SPF 30 can reduce your Vitamin D production by 95% according to Megan Ware in Medical News Today. (source)
