Are you getting enough Vitamin D? If you are one of the estimated one billion people on earth who are vitamin D deficient, then you are probably not. Coming up short on Vitamin D can affect your health, including the immune system, cells, brain and heart.

Why Do I Need Vitamin D?

Much of the interest in vitamin D stems from the fact that it’s found throughout the body in over 600 receptor sites including the brain and the heart. Due to the fact that vitamin D receptors are so prevalent in the body, research has increased on vitamin D, and seemingly everyday new studies tout the health benefits of vitamin D consumption.

Brain Health, Memory and Concentration

The brain has a wide distribution of Vitamin D receptors wherein Vitamin D directly and positively affects cognitive function. Vitamin D supports brain health, while a deficiency can result in brain dysfunction.
Healthy Bones & Calcium Absorption

As vitamin D deficiency has become more prevalent, the attention and focus paid to vitamin D have increased, and for good reason. Most people familiar with vitamin D understand that this nutrient is essential to skeletal system health. Along with calcium, vitamin D is considered vital for maintaining healthy bones Vitamin D actually regulates the use of calcium in the body by dramatically increasing its absorption and utilization.

The brain is home to dozens of vitamin D receptor sites, and vitamin D has been shown to enhance memory and concentration.

Cardiovascular Health

Vitamin D may play a role in cardiovascular health since low blood levels of Vitamin D can increase coronary artery calcification. Vitamin D deficiencies can also elevate the risk of stroke and congestive heart failure, while optimal Vitamin D levels support normal levels of inflammation, which is important for cardiovascular health.

Immune Support

Recent studies have also shown that vitamin D supports immune health by helping to regulate the immune system. Vitamin D is a powerful immune system supporter and inhibits negative autoimmune responses by modulating T-cell responses. When Vitamin D is in short supply, Th1 cells can attack the body instead of fighting off unwanted invaders.

Vitamin D supports healthy digestion, again since receptor sites are found from the mouth all the way through the intestines.

Cell Proliferation and Differentiation, Colon Health, Prostate Health and Breast Health

Vitamin D inhibits unwanted cell proliferation and stimulates healthy cell differentiation. Lung, skin, colon, bone and breast sites have been studied for Vitamin D’s positive effects on cell differentiation and proliferation, causing them to act as normal mature cells. Dr. Cedric Garland, a 20 year veteran Vitamin D researcher believes that Vitamin D can prevent unwanted cell proliferation by 75% with optimal Vitamin D blood levels.

Healthy vitamin D levels support two increasing areas of concern—breast health for women and prostate health for men.
