Key Points   
  • Vitamin D is an essential vitamin that has myriad positive effects on several systems in the body.
  • Unlike other vitamins, it functions like a hormone and every cell in your body has a receptor for it.
  • It is sparsely found in certain fatty fish and fortified dairy products, and it is extremely difficult to get the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) of 600-800 IU from diet alone.
  • There are two main forms of vitamin D in the diet:
    • Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol) - found in plant foods like mushrooms.
    • Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) - found in animal foods like salmon, cod and egg yolks.
  • Vitamin D deficiency is incredibly common and most people are unaware of it, as the symptoms are subtle and nonspecific.
    • Getting sick or infected often with common cold and flu, because of a weak immune system.
    • Fatigue and tiredness
    • Bone and muscle pains
    • Depression
    • Impaired wound healing
    • Bone loss and osteoporosis
  • Sunlight is the best natural source of vitamin D.
  • Sunlight synthesizes cholesterol into Vitamin D3.
