Vitamin D
About Vitamin D
Vitamin D is also known as the Sunshine Vitamin, and is extremely essential for the proper production, regulation and absorption of calcium and phosphorus by the human body, as well as proper maintenance of teeth and bones, and also to make sure that your immune system can effectively fight against conditions and diseases like diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and cancer.
Despite its name, Vitamin D is not actually a vitamin, but falls under the category of a pro-hormone. This is because the human body is perfectly capable of producing vitamin D on its own when exposed to sunlight, and vitamins are the nutrients that are unable of being automatically produced by the body, and which need to be taken via dietary supplements. Thus, since Vitamin D can be naturally produced by the human body, it is not exactly a vitamin.
Vitamin D has a plethora of benefits, the most common of which include keeping bones and teeth healthy and preventing diseases such as osteoporosis and rickets, which is a sign of low phosphorus and calcium in the human body. Vitamin D also reduces the risk of contracting the flu, as well as diabetes. Most importantly, Vitamin D is essential for proper regulation of cell growth, and cell-to-cell communication, which is necessary in preventing growth of cancer cells.
