Vitamin D – the power of the sun
Vitamin D has numerous functions in our body, is involved in many metabolic processes, and has a hormone-like effect. Vitamin D acts on bones, teeth, the immune system, muscle cells, and much more. It is therefore fair to say that vitamin D plays a key role in our body.
Vitamin D supply
The body relies on UV radiation to produce vitamin D. The precursor, previtamin D3, is first produced in the skin, which is then converted into the active vitamin D3. The invisible UV-B component of sunlight is responsible for this synthesis. Most vitamin D is produced in the skin of the forearms. Normally, enough vitamin D is produced and stored in the summer to last through the dark winter months, when UV light is scarce.
However, even in summer we often don't get enough sunlight because we spend most of our time in offices or enclosed spaces and don't get enough outdoor exercise. Additionally, the cells' ability to produce vitamin D decreases with age.
A recent study by the Robert Koch Institute indicates a deficiency. Vitamin D levels were significantly lower in the winter months than in the summer.
Vitamin D contributes to
: normal absorption/utilization of calcium and phosphorus
; normal blood calcium levels
; the maintenance of normal bones
; normal muscle function
; the maintenance of normal teeth
; normal immune system function
; and cell division.
Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.
