Vitamin D

 

Got a Question?


Vitamin D or calciferol is found in ten forms - D1 through D10. The two most important sources of Vitamin D are D2 and D3. These are found in cod liver, fish liver oils, butter, egg yolk, liver, herring, mackerel, sardines, and salmon.

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is essential for the absorption of calcium and for the regulation of phosphorus metabolism, both of which are vital for healthy bones and teeth. A childhood deficiency of Vitamin D is rickets; in adults, this deficiency can cause osteomalacia (the softening of the bones). It is important for women to take Vitamin D during menopause to maintain healthy bones.

Vitamin D is found in egg yolk, fish, fish liver, tuna, milk, dairy products. It is most effective when taken with Vitamin A, choline, Vitamin C, calcium, and phosphorus. Vitamin D facilitates the absorption of calcium and helps to build bone mass and prevent bone loss, as well as maintaining blood levels of calcium and phosphorous.

Diseases prevented by the therapeutic benefits of Vitamin D include: cancer, tetany (a form of muscle spasm), kidney stones, osteoporosis, and psoriasis. (Information received from the Herbal Information Center & Vitamin Directory).
