Know your vitamin D  

How Is Vitamin D Produced?

    Vitamin D is a group of fat-soluble vitamins that are produced when your skin is exposed to sunlight, hence sometimes referred as "sunshine vitamin". The sun's ultraviolet B (UVB) rays hit cholesterol in the skin cells, providing the energy for vitamin D synthesis to occur. 

     

    Important Roles Of Vitamin D

      Vitamin D is responsible for the absorption and utilization of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. This role is essential for building strong bones by a process called mineralization, as well as building strong teeth through the use of calcium. Another important role of Vitamin D includes maintaining a healthy immune system balanced when fighting infections and diseases.
