Product description: The perfect way to obtain your daily needs of vitamin D. The main role of vitamin D is to enhance the absorption of calcium in the digestive tract and maintain appropriate calcium and phosphate levels in the serum to enable normal bone mineralization and prevent calcium deficiency. It is also essential for bone growth and remodeling by osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin, fragile, and deformed. Adequate vitamin D prevents rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. In addition to calcium, vitamin D also helps protect the elderly from osteoporosis. Other roles of vitamin D in the body include regulating cell growth, nervous, muscular, and immune system functions, and reducing inflammation. Many genes that encode proteins regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis are partially regulated by vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency usually results from inadequate diet, poor absorption and utilization, increased needs, or increased excretion. Vitamin D deficiency can occur when the usual intake is below recommended levels over time, when sun exposure is limited, when the kidneys cannot convert 25(OH)D to its active form, or when vitamin D absorption from the digestive system is insufficient. Groups at risk of vitamin D deficiency include: - Infants who are breastfed - Elderly individuals - People with limited sun exposure - People with dark skin - People with inflammatory bowel disease and other conditions causing poor fat absorption - People with obesity or who have undergone gastric bypass surgery Usage instructions: Take one (1) capsule daily with food.
