> Vitamin D is a nutrient found in some foods that is needed for health and to maintain strong bones. It does so by helping the body absorb calcium (one of bone’s main building blocks) from food and supplements. People who get too little vitamin D may develop soft, thin, and brittle bones, a condition known as rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults.
> Vitamin D is important to the body in many other ways as well. Muscles need it to move, for example, nerves need it to carry messages between the brain and every body part, and the immune system needs vitamin D to fight off invading bacteria and viruses. Together with calcium, vitamin D also helps protect older adults from osteoporosis. Vitamin D is found in cells throughout the body.
- meiraleal 6y agoYou are misunderstanding basic physiology and thus implying that I'm wrong. The healthy body produces the Vitamin D it needs. The unhealthy ones that takes VitD as supplement are just wasting their money, there is no evidence that oral vitamin supplements raises the bioavailable nutrients we use. You didn't bring any evidence of that.
- alexbanks 6y agoAgain, no. Attempting to condescend to me about bioavailability and physiology is great, but a quick google search proves that (shock) _supplementing things makes them increase in the blood_ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6631968/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6631968/ > According to our data, amounts of vitamin D3 increased in the blood serum of all treated animal groups in proportion to time, during vitamin supplementation, until the 7th day (Figure 3). As early as after 3 days of supplementation, microencapsulated and oil-based vitamin D3 increased vitamin levels in the blood by almost three times: The control level of vitamin D3 in the rat serum ranged from 36.49 ± 4.12 to 40.5 ± 3.05 nmol/L, meanwhile in the microencapsulated and oil-based treatment groups it got up to 143.35 ± 14.72 and 150.85 ± 35.77 nmol/L, respectively. The highest vitamin D3 concentration in the rat blood serum was registered in the oil-based vitamin D3 group on day 7—the tested vitamin concentration reached 198.93 ± 51.6 nmol/L. Comparing the duration of the effect of all vitamin vehicles, microencapsulated SmartHit IV™ supplementation vitamin D3 concentrations in the blood serum remained constant for the longest time (up to the 14th day).
