Useful Vitamin D



Vitamin D is fat-soluble, it is best absorbed with fatty foods and accumulates in fat tissue. Large amounts of vitamin D are found primarily in animal foods: oily fish (salmon, catfish, mackerel, sardines, tuna), fish eggs, egg yolk and dairy products. It is also found in small amounts in red caviar, oysters, wild mushrooms and seeds.

It is unique in that it is the only vitamin the body produces on its own under the influence of the sun's UV rays.

Its main role is to help absorb calcium and phosphorus from food. In children, vitamin D prevents the development of rickets, a disease associated with impaired bone development and softening. In adolescents and adults, vitamin D prevents the development of tooth decay and gum disease, protects against osteoporosis (softening of bone tissue due to lack of calcium) and accelerates the healing of fractures. Vitamin D also increases resistance to viral diseases.
