NSP Vitamin D3: Boost Immunity & Metabolism

Title: NSP Vitamin D3: Immune Support, Metabolism Booster, Immunomodulator

Description:

Vitamin D is a nutrient, hormone, and immunomodulator crucial for overall health. Produced in the skin through sun exposure (as Vitamin D3, cholecalciferol), it's also found in lesser amounts in foods rich in ergosterol (Vitamin D2, ergocalciferol). Once formed, Vitamin D travels to the liver, converting into a hormone that regulates calcium homeostasis and subsequently processes in the kidneys. This active form promotes calcium absorption in the intestines and kidneys, maintaining optimal blood calcium levels.

Vitamin D deficiency, common in individuals with insufficient sun exposure, dietary limitations, or liver/kidney disease, is a significant concern, particularly in high-latitude regions like Russia. Beyond calcium regulation and bone health, Vitamin D receptors exist in numerous organs and tissues, impacting various bodily systems. As a hormone, it regulates over 200 genes, playing a vital role in diverse functions. Chronic deficiency increases the risk of several serious health issues.

Benefits:

• Bone Health: Regulates calcium and phosphorus metabolism, crucial for bone and tooth development, preventing and treating osteoporosis. Enhances calcium and phosphorus absorption.
• Immune System Support: Supports innate and adaptive immunity, influencing lymphocyte and macrophage function, cytokine production, and interferon synthesis. Possesses immunomodulatory, antiviral, and antibacterial properties (e.g., tuberculosis).
• Skin Health: Regulates skin cell proliferation and differentiation, aiding in the treatment of psoriasis, vitiligo, and certain cancers. Reduces the risk of autoimmune reactions.
• Endocrine System Support: Regulates thyroid, pancreas, and gonadal function; influences embryonic development, spermatogenesis, reproductive function, and DNA regulation. Reduces the risk of type 1 diabetes.
• Barrier System Support: Maintains the health of the respiratory and digestive systems.
• Metabolic Processes: Regulates ATP synthesis, blood clotting, ethanol detoxification, and other vital processes.
• Disease Prevention: Helps prevent cardiovascular disease, multiple sclerosis, and certain cancers (colon, kidney, ovarian, breast, and prostate).
• Children's Health: Prevents rickets. Maternal obesity can lead to Vitamin D deficiency in both mother and child.
• Nervous System Health: Studies link Vitamin D deficiency to memory impairment, insomnia, and mood instability.

Dietary Vitamin D intake is often insufficient (0.7-5.4 mcg/day). While foods like fatty fish (cod liver oil, herring), egg yolks, and liver contain Vitamin D, supplementation is usually necessary. Vitamin D3 is approximately 50% bioavailable compared to D2. Blood tests (25-hydroxyvitamin D) determine Vitamin D levels. Optimal levels (50-60 ng/mL) may require 4000 IU (100 mcg) daily, with 2000 IU (50 mcg) recommended for adults and 4000 IU for those at higher risk. Most multivitamins provide insufficient Vitamin D.
