All about Vitamin D

Vitamin D : fat-soluble vitamin, which is actually a hormone. It is the only vitamin that the body will produces on its own.

ergocalciferol-D2
cholecalciferol-D3
alfacalcidol

Some Facts

Helps your body absorb calcium and phosphorus. This is vital for strong and healthy bones.
A fall in the concentration of calcium in the bloodstream is detected by the parathyroid glands, which then produce parathyroid hormone. Parathyroid hormone increases the activity of the enzyme (catalyst) that produces active vitamin D. This increase in the concentration of calcium together with vitamin D feeds back to the parathyroid glands to stop further parathyroid hormone release. The production of vitamin D is also directly regulated by calcium, phosphate and calcitriol.
Naturally occurring in some foods, added to others, and made by the body when UV lights hits the skin.
Must be activated by two produces in the body to be utilized. One is done in the liver, the second is done in the kidney. Very nutshell version.
Promotes calcium absorption in the gut
Helps prevent hypocalcemic tetany (involuntary contraction of muscles, leading to cramps and spasms)
Reduction of inflammation
Regulation of many processes such as cell growth, neuromuscular, immune function, and glucose metabolism

Huge Benefits

Helps facilitate weight loss

Some Sources

fatty fish (such as trout, sardines, salmon, tuna, and mackerel)
Beef liver, cheese, yogurt and egg yolks
Mushrooms provide variable amounts of vitamin D₂
Fortified foods like milk

Vitamin D and Depression

Low levels of vitamin D have been associated with decreased cognitive function, specifically in the realm of mental health
Researchers behind a 2013 meta-analysis noticed that study participants with depression also had low vitamin D levels.
It’s also worth mentioning here that vitamin D is thought to be able to activate the synthesis of serotonin, a neurotransmitter and hormone that, similar to dopamine, can help to improve your mood.

Vitamin D and Hormones (sex)

Testosterone : Studies have found that an adequate level of vitamin D is actually pretty important for regulating this crucial sex hormone.

How Being Deficient Might Feel

Fatigue, aches and pains
A general sense of not feeling well
Severe bone or muscular pain or weakness
Stress fractures

Optimal serum concentrations of 25(OH)D for bone and general health have not been established because they are likely to vary by stage of life, by race and ethnicity, and with each physiological measure used [1,13,14]. In addition, although 25(OH)D levels rise in response to increased vitamin D intake, the relationship is nonlinear [1]. The amount of increase varies, for example, by baseline serum levels and duration of supplementation. Resource: https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminD-HealthProfessional/

*Serum concentrations of 25(OH)D are reported in both nanomoles per liter (nmol/L) and nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). One nmol/L = 0.4 ng/mL, and 1 ng/mL = 2.5 nmol/L.

children and teens: 600 IU
adults up to age 70: 600 IU
adults over age 70: 800 IU
pregnant or breastfeeding women: 600 IU

nmol/L*	ng/mL*	Health status
<30	<12	Associated with vitamin D deficiency, which can lead to rickets in infants and children and osteomalacia in adults
30 to <50	12 to <20	Generally considered inadequate for bone and overall health in healthy individuals
≥50	≥20	Generally considered adequate for bone and overall health in healthy individuals
>125	>50	Linked to potential adverse effects, particularly at >150 nmol/L (>60 ng/mL)
