About
Facts
- 1 Vitamin D can be synthesized in the skin through exposure to sunlight. When ultraviolet B (UVB) rays from the sun interact with the skin, they trigger the synthesis of vitamin D in a process that involves the conversion of a cholesterol compound into active vitamin D.
- 2 There are two main forms of vitamin D: vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D3 is more effective at raising blood levels of the nutrient. VUUM uses vegan D3.
- 3 Vitamin D acts more like a hormone than a traditional vitamin. It has receptors throughout the body, including in cells of the immune system, muscles, and brain. This is why its influence extends beyond bone health to various physiological processes.
- 4 Fatty fish, egg yolks, and dairy are common dietary sources of vitamin D, making people following vegan or vegetarian diets more likely to be at risk of vitamin D deficiency.
- 5 Some research suggests that adequate vitamin D levels may help protect against certain types of cancer and autoimmune diseases.
