What are the benefits of vitamin d? Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. It is also known as the sunshine vitamin as the human body can manufacture it when exposed to sunlight. Well known for its role in regulating calcium levels, Vitamin D is now attracting attention for its other roles and benefits to the body.
Vitamin D is necessary for the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth in adults and children, and some of the benefits include:
- Arthritis and other similar conditions occur as a result of the breakdown of cartilage in the joints. Vitamin D is required to maintain healthy cartilage.
- Low levels of vitamin D may be a factor in high blood pressure.
- Studies suggest that vitamin D deficiency may be linked to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and mood disorders.
- Vitamin D has a variety of effects on the immune system and is crucial for its optimal function.
- Vitamin D deficiency may prevent sugar management by the body leading to high blood glucose levels.
- Vitamin D is required for the uptake of calcium required for various functions.
- Suitable for coeliacs, vegetarians and diabetics.
The classic vitamin D deficiency disease is rickets. Yet as fear of sun-exposure has grown and lifestyles have become more sedentary, exposure to the sun has dropped dramatically and vitamin D deficiency and the incidence of rickets has surged. The skin cannot create vitamin D if covered in sunscreen or clothing, it is thought that a sun cream with SPF15 will reduce the skin’s ability to synthesize vitamin D by more than 95%
Many older people and those from the Asian community who tend to wear more modest clothing are amongst the population groups most like to suffer deficiency in vitamin D.
Dietary sources of vitamin D include fortified foods, eggs and fatty fish. Most commonly-available Vitamin D3 supplements are sourced from the lanolin in sheep’s wool. The source of vitamin D in Viridian Nutrition Vitamin D3 capsules is Lichen which provides vegan naturally derived Vitamin D3.
