VITAMIN
D - (cholecalciferol or calciferol)
DESCRIPTION:
The best way to get Vitamin D is through exposure to sunlight. Our
ability to manufacture Vitamin D from sunlight decreases with age.
Deficiencies of Vitamin D can interfer with the utilization of
calcium and phosphorus in bone and tooth formation. It can cause
irritability and weakness. When severe deficiencies are apparent,
Rickets may be common especially in young children, which is
Osteomalacia in adults. Vitamin D is soluble in fats and organic
solvents. It is relatively stable under refrigeration and it can be
stored in the liver. Vitamin D is often associated with Vitamin A.
Important in treating osteoporosis, rickets and hypocalcemia while
also enhancing the immune system.
