[QUOTE="Jasz, post: 210666, member: 61772"] Nice health post. I once took that, but I didn't really know the use when my doctor prescribed it until I did research. The U.S. National Library of Medicine defines vitamin D as a vitamin that is needed to maintain strong bones. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, "when sunlight hits skin, it triggers the production of vitamin D." The only other way to obtain the vitamin is through foods including egg yolk, saltwater fish and fortified milk, but these foods don't contain enough to meet our daily requirements, nor do dietary supplements unless they're specifically formulated for higher amounts. Vitamin D deficiency has become a worldwide epidemic. Since the contributions of vitamin D to various aspects of health (e.g., immune function, bone metabolism, and inflammation) are diverse, it is not surprising that it can affect various tissues and organs, altering the risk profiles for various diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disease, infectious disease, neurodevelopmental disease, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Vitamin D plays critical roles in calcium homeostasis, bone metabolism, and mineralization as well as other biologic functions. Laboratory testing for vitamin D status has increased markedly over the last 5 years, yet awareness of appropriate interpretation of the laboratory results is insufficient. [/QUOTE]
