Vitamin D is a substance that comes in several forms. We can distinguish vitamin D1 (calciferol), D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol).
Vitamin D3 contained in the product is present in the skin tissue of both humans and animals (it is synthesized in the skin under the influence of sunlight).
The metabolic effect of the various forms of vitamin D is similar except that they differ in the type of protein in the plasma. The effect of this is that vitamin D3 lasts longer and is more effective than other forms.
Vitamin D influences a number of physiological processes in the human body. Its deficiencies are associated with the increased incidence of diseases of the skeletal system and periosteal tissues. In addition, insufficient amount of vitamin D in the diet and its insufficient synthesis in the skin are associated with numerous health consequences, such as, for example, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, weakening the immune system or problems with maintaining a healthy body weight.
Skeletal system
Vitamin D plays a key role in the absorption of calcium, among others. Its deficiency can cause rickets and osteoporosis, and consequently increase the risk of fractures. Insufficient amount of vitamin D leads to a decrease in the absorption of calcium in the small intestine, and thus its amount in the blood. Due to the abnormal level of calcium in the blood, the thyroid gland replenishes calcium deficiency at the expense of its content in the bones, thereby significantly weakening them.
Effects on weight control
It has been proven in numerous scientific studies that a diet rich in calcium helps to control the correct body weight. This is related to the mechanism that reduces the absorption of fats provided by food. Due to the fact that vitamin D is responsible for the proper functioning of calcium, it is also included in the component regulating proper metabolism.
Scientific research confirms this relationship. It has been observed that vitamin D deficiency is more common in obese people. One hypothesis is that such a person has difficulty transporting the vitamin into the bloodstream because it is dissolved in adipose tissue. Orally administered vitamin D has better bioavailability and is considered to compensate for the deficiency in obese people.
Effects on the immune system
In studies conducted by scientists, the reduced amount of vitamin D in the blood was linked to the susceptibility to diseases such as pharyngitis, laryngitis, and angina compared to the group with its normal value. This allows us to put forward the thesis that vitamin D supports the proper functioning of the immune system.
Vitamin D deficiency is becoming more common despite the fact that many foods are enriched with this valuable ingredient. This is due to avoidance of the sun, the use of strong protective filters and latitude with fewer sunny days. Reduced bioavailability exacerbates the problem of deficiencies (for example in obese people). Scientists have proved, however, that taking vitamin D orally (it has a greater bioavailability than that synthesized in the skin) prevents its deficiency.
