Why Do We Need Vitamin D3?
Vitamin D influences up to 2,000 genes in the body, having a broad impact on health. Its primary source is the UVB rays from sunlight, which convert cholesterol in the skin into a vitamin D precursor (calciferol). This is then converted in the liver and kidneys into the active form, calcitriol.In northern latitudes, the sun’s rays are only strong enough for vitamin D production during the summer months when the sun is at least 45 degrees above the horizon. During the winter, the production of vitamin D from sunlight is nonexistent, and levels in the body can drop significantly, particularly in spring. Supplementation is therefore crucial.It is also important to note that vitamin D is only produced in the skin when it is directly exposed to the sun. Clothing that covers the skin significantly reduces vitamin D production. Since vitamin D is fat-soluble, the body stores it during the summer months for use in winter, but these reserves are often depleted before new levels can be built up, often coinciding with seasonal mood changes.
Combine with Magnesium and Vitamin K2
For best results, vitamin D should be combined with magnesium and vitamin K2. These three nutrients work synergistically in the body. Vitamin K2 prevents calcium from being deposited in soft tissues, such as blood vessels, ensuring it is deposited in the bones where it is needed. Magnesium is essential for activating vitamin D and helps maintain normal blood levels.
