Functions of Vitamin D Vitamin D helps with increased Calcium absorption (small intestine) urinary calcium reabsorption (kidney) and Bone mineralization Helps with the travel of calcium and phosphorous in the blood Modulation of neuromuscular and immune function. Reduction of inflammation.

Deficiency Symptoms and Diseases Rickets and Osteomalacia are the classical vitamin D deficiency diseases Rickets, is characterized by a failure of bone tissue to properly mineralize, resulting in soft bones and skeletal deformities Osteomalacia, is characterized by fragile bones that significantly increases the risk of bone fractures

Facts about Vitamin D When exposed to sunlight (Ultraviolet Rays), Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) is absorbed via the skin by using 7 dehydrocholesterol (a crystalline steroid alcohol) Vitamin D is the most vital vitamin in the human body to boost the rate of absorption of the essential minerals calcium and phosphorus from the intestines.
