What does Vitamin D do for you??
Question: I always drink alot of milk. Just wondering what it is doing for my body? Thanks! :)
Answers: Vitamin D refers to a group of fat-soluble prohormones, the two major forms of which are vitamin D2 (or ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (or cholecalciferol). The term vitamin D also refers to metabolites and other analogues of these substances. Vitamin D3 is produced in skin exposed to sunlight, specifically ultraviolet B radiation. Very few foods are naturally rich in vitamin D, and most vitamin D intake is in the form of fortified products including milk, soy milk and cereal grains.
Vitamin D plays an important role in the maintenance of several organ systems.
* Vitamin D regulates the calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood by promoting their absorption from food in the intestines, and by promoting re-absorption of calcium in the kidneys.
* It promotes bone formation and mineralization and is essential in the development of an intact and strong skeleton.
* It inhibits parathyroid hormone secretion from the parathyroid gland.
* Vitamin D affects the immune system by promoting immunosuppression and anti-tumor activity.
Vitamin D deficiency can result from; inadequate intake coupled with inadequate sunlight exposure, disorders that limit its absorption, conditions that impair conversion of vitamin D into active metabolites, such as liver or kidney disorders, or, rarely, by a number of hereditary disorders. Deficiency results in impaired bone mineralization, and leads to bone softening diseases, rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, and possibly contributes to osteoporosis.
