The Benefits of Vitamin D

Vitamin D it is a pro-hormone but has been classified as a vitamin. Vitamin D aids in the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus from the intestinal tract. It helps maintain and promote the growth and development of healthy bones and teeth in both adults and children. In its active form, vitamin D works with calcium to help control bone formation.

Vitamin D is unique, as it is not only obtained by eating foods that contain vitamin D, but is also formed spontaneously in the skin as a result of a photochemical reaction caused by the sun in the epidermis. Vegetarians, the elderly, and individuals receiving limited exposure to ultraviolet light (sunlight) may be at risk of inadequate vitamin D levels.

Vitamin D - Functions and Benefits

  • Improves the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorous
  • Contributes to the good functioning of the reproductive system, the digestive system and the immune system
  • Required for healthy bone and teeth formation
  • Good vitamin D levels may be associated with a reduced risk of hypertension
  • Helps maintain a stable nervous system and a healthy cardiovascular system

  • Common Deficiency Symptoms

  • Extreme deficiency may lead to the development of rickets (aching bones)
  • Accelerated and pronounced tooth decay
  • The softening of bones
  • Lack of vigor
  • Muscular weakness
  • The inadequate absorption of calcium and the retention of phosphorous in the kidneys


  • Recommended Daily Value: 400 IU (international units)

    Most individuals will naturally meet or approach their daily value of vitamin D if they regularly consume fortified cereal and milk, eggs and fatty fish. Sufficent levels of vitamin D can be obtained by receiving 10-15 minutes of direct sunlight per day.

    The over-supplementation of vitamin D is not advised (the safe upper limit for adults is 2,000 IU per day), as prolonged periods of high consumption over several months can can cause calcium deposits in the soft tissues of the body, which can damage the kidneys and the cardiovascular system.

    - If you are pregnant or nursing do not take any form of vitamin supplement unless you have discussed its use with your doctor. -
