Vitamin D is a steroid vitamin, a group of fat-soluble prohormones, which encourages the absorption and metabolism of calcium which is vital for building strong bones. Vitamin D is obtained from sun exposure, and is commonly known as the sunshine vitamin. Unfortunately due to lifestyle changes many do not reach the recommend levels of sun exposes, reducing the amount of Vitamin D in the body. Food and vitamin supplement are now commonly used to help the body to absorb and utilise the calcium it needs. About 99% of the calcium in the body is in the bones and teeth and 1% is in the blood, muscles, and other soft tissues (such as nerves, organs, etc.) Vitamin D is also important for hormone regulation, inflammation reduction, and the optimal functioning of the nervous system and the immune system. Why Take Vitamin D? If your body cannot produce enough vitamin D because of insufficient sunlight exposure you will need to obtain it from foods and perhaps supplements. Experts say that people with a high risk of vitamin D deficiency should consume 400 IU of vitamin D each day so that there is a good level of 25-hydroxy in the bloodstream. Who is at risk of vitamin D deficiency? Vitamin D deficiency is far more common than once believed. The suns rays are the primary source of vitamin D, and lifestyle changes have made it difficult for many people to get enough time in the sun. Reasons for limited sun exposure include working indoors, as well as using sunscreen and avoiding the sun to prevent skin cancer. Untreated, Vitamin D deficiency can lead to serious complications, such as bone fractures and bone deformities. Vitamin D deficiency has also been linked to a variety of serious conditions, such as certain cancers and cardiovascular disease. The groups of people who may be at risk of vitamin D deficiency include Naturally dark skinned people - who need more UV exposure to produce adequate levels of vitamin D as the pigment in their skin reduces UV penetration Over 60'S - At the age of 60 the body's ability to absorb minerals deteriorates buy 25%. This can lead to a weaker bone structure and immune system People who cover their skin for religious or cultural reasons The elderly and people who are housebound or in institutional care Babies and infants of vitamin D deficient mothers, especially breastfed babies Children - Bones are growing at their fastest at this stage, so they need to consume around 400 IU to maintain healthy bone growth Vitamin D also helps treat weak bones and prevents brittle bones in cases of osteoporosis Teens - Bones stop growing at the age of 20 so its important to provide the body with enough vitamin D to support new tissues formation. How much vitamin D do I need? The Food Nutrition Board at the Institute of Medicine recommend that people should be intaking the following amounts of vitamin D if nothing is being synthesized (no sunlight exposure) Children up to 13 years - 5 mcg (200 IU) 14-18 years - 5 mcg (200 IU) 19-50 years - 5mcg (200 IU) 51-70 years - 10 mcg (400 IU) 71 years - 15 mcg (600 IU) Why choose Bioconcepts vitamins & supplements Bioconcepts is a brand you can trust.

News and features Daily Mail, Health Article Not enough sunshine is putting millions of us at risk from diabetesThe research, carried out in Australia, could play a major role in combating the condition which has been increasing in recent years. Researchers at Melbourne Pathology tested the blood of 5,200 people and established that for every extra 25 nanomoles of Vitamin D in the blood the chance of getting diabetes was reduced by 24%.If the link is fully established between Vitamin D and diabetes, those at risk could take dietary supplements to reduce the chance of getting the disease.
