Vitamin D3 - the essential nutrient
There is a reason why Vitamin D3 supplements were all the rage during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Muscle maintenance, bone strength, and immunity are all crucial processes that are seriously hampered without Vitamin D3 being sufficiently present in our bodies. Immunity building requires Vitamin D3.
Vitamin D3 is a nutrient that is not just necessary for our body in itself. It is also indispensable in facilitating the absorption of various other nutrients such as calcium and phosphorus. This blog explores the variety of benefits that Vitamin D3 offers and facts that you must know for upping your Vitamin D3 levels. .
Vitamin D3 is a sub-type of Vitamin D. The two main forms of Vitamin D are Vitamin D2 and D3. Vitamin D2 is naturally found in some plants. Vitamin D3, found predominantly in animals, is also biologically self-produced by our body by being exposed to sunlight, unlike Vitamin D2.
Vitamin D3 functions in tandem with Calcium and Phosphorus. It not only aids in the absorption of these two nutrients but works alongside both Calcium and Phosphorus to aid in bone formation and subsequently improve bone density and allow for the maintenance and regular functioning of our immune system.
Apart from strengthening our bones, Vitamin D3 is also important for mood regulation. Unknown to a majority of people, even health-conscious consumers, Vitamin D3 suppresses negative emotions. Individuals with a deficient supply of Vitamin D3 are found to be more vulnerable to anxiety and depression.
Our heart is also dependent on Vitamin D3 for countering high blood pressure, thus directly preventing the likelihood of heart ailments and strokes.
Still looking for more benefits? Vitamin D3 is also crucial in reducing inflammation, thereby reducing our risk of picking up allergies, and making us less susceptible to asthma.
Vitamin D3 deficiency can have a negative effect on our bodies in more ways than one. As it is essential to many biological processes, an inadequate supply of Vitamin D3 works against all such processes, making our bodies exposed to disease, and hampering our mental health.
