Vitamin D is best known for its role in calcium absorption from the digestive tract and bone formation, but it has many other functions including balancing immune function and mood. Vitamin D is synthesized by the skin after exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Since many people don’t spend enough time outdoors, they can develop a deficiency of this essential vitamin. Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with many health conditions, including osteoporosis, rickets, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, cancer, seasonal affective disorder, chronic pain and frequent infections.

It’s clear that vitamin D supplementation, particularly for the northern hemisphere residents, the elderly and children during the winter months and for people suffering from chronic illnesses, is essential. Vitamin D3 is the most effective form of vitamin D, as it is more absorbable than vitamin D2.
