What is Vitamin D?
Vitamin D, also known as the sunshine vitamin, is a fat soluble vitamin found in some foods such as fortified milk, oily fish and in some cereals. It is also manufactured by the body when the skin is exposed to sunlight.
Despite available food sources of vitamin D and the body’s ability to self-produce this nutrient from sun exposure, 70% or more of children and adults have insufficient vitamin D level (U.S. National Center for Health Statistics).
Vitamin D comes in two forms: Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3. Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is the preferred form as it is most effective at maintaining adequate levels of vitamin D in the body.
Because of the concern of low vitamin D levels among infants and children, the American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends 400 IU per day of vitamin D3 taken with food. For healthy adults, a minimum of 1,000 IU per day of vitamin D3 is recommended.
Higher doses of vitamin D may be warranted for those with vitamin D deficiency or certain health conditions. These levels should be determined by a health care professional. It is expected that the new Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI’s) for vitamin D will be released in 2010, which will reflect an increase in the daily requirement for vitamin D.
Why is Vitamin D important?
Vitamin D provides many benefits to the body, and is vital to human health. One of its key roles is in protecting your immune health. This key nutrient also provides other benefits to the body, such as:
Supporting proper absorption of calcium for building and maintaining strong bones and teeth.
Maintaining breast, colon and prostate health.
Maintaining joint and muscle comfort.
Promoting a healthy mood and brain function.
Supporting a healthy pregnancy and baby. All infants (breast-fed and bottle-fed) should receive 400 IU of vitamin D from birth, according to new recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
