About Vitamin D
Vitamin D is an essential fat-soluble vitamin that the body creates from exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays. Vitamin D can also be found in supplements from cod liver oil.
Vitamin D is needed for helping with calcium absorption and metabolism. It is also required for proper bone growth and bone remodeling by osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
There are many other roles that Vitamin D plays in health including anti-inflammatory effects, healthy neuromuscular and immune function, and an increasing number of studies demonstrate that Vitamin D plays an important role in healthy cell proliferation and differentiation.
