Extensive research over the past decade has reinforced the major importance of Vitamin D in human nutrition. As a consequence new roles in terms of health maintenace have been added to the nutrients widely known benefits for skeletal health. Vitamin D has now been shown to have a role in protecting against osteoporosis, cancers, auto immune diseases and high blood pressure while supporting brain and immune function.
Vitamin D research shows many of us are deficient.
Out of the new resarch has come a re-evaluation of the ideal maximum dosage of Vitamin D as there has been a consensus that the old recommended daily intake of 400iu is totally inadequate. Now ideal intake levels of Vitamin D3 are considered to be 1000iu for infants, 2000iu for children and teenagers and adults. Although adult intake is recommended at 2000iu , as we age absorption becomes more problematic and some of the most respected researchers insist that the daily dosage for adults should be between 4,000iu and 10,000iu in order to maintain high levels of immunity and skeletal health.
Even though we know Vitamin D is needed, widespread use of sunscreen and consumption of processed foods has placed increasing numbers of the population at risk of Vitamin D deficiency. Increasing numbers are being found to be clinically deficient. Fortified foods and Vitamin D3 supplements can be used to to maintain a desirable level of Vitamin D.

Vitamin D3 is safely and easily held in circulation and in body tissues until it is needed. Then it is converted by the kidneys to the hormonal form , calcitriol or 1-25 dihydroxy Vitamin D3 as needed. Calcitrol in this hormonal form , along with parathyroid hormone stimulates retyention of calcium by kidneys. It improves the effeiciency of calcium uptake from the intestines, raises circulating calcium levels and helps drive calcium into the bone. As a side benefit parathyroid hormone secretion is lessened as circulating calcium increases. When that happens, osteoclasts become less active. They are the cells that are directed by parathyroid hormone to tear down bone.
Vitamin D 3 to improve immunity and reduce infection.
In the Autum and Winter lower levels of sunshine results in lower levels of Vitamin D which is reflected in higher levels of infections, flus colds etc. Supplementing with Vitamin D 3 is desireable for the majority of the population particularly for those with low immunity.
