An Introduction to Vitamin D3

Pam Egan, FNP-C, CDE, is a board-certified adult and family nurse practitioner, a certified diabetes educator, certified specialist in anti-aging medicine, and also a health columnist. Mrs. Egan has written extensively on the subject of Vitamin D3 and the wealth of both short and long-term health benefits associated with this incredible vitamin.

Vitamin D3, also known as (cholecalciferol), is by far and without question the most bio-available form of Vitamin D.

Why is this Vitamin D so important?

Vitamin D is essential for healthy-looking skin and strong bones. In addition, Vitamin D3 has been found to stimulate the immune system, providing your body with a powerful boost to help stave off illness.

If an individual has chronically low Vitamin D3 intake from food and/or sunlight, the deficiency can lead to numerous health ailments including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Obesity, Diabetes, Cancer, Fibromyalgia, neuro-degenerative diseases, osteoporosis, and clinical depression. Scientists and researchers are now discovering that the risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke may increase in people with a prolongued Vitamin D3 deficiency.

D3 can be obtained from a variety of foods, however perhaps the best way to ingest/absorb the nutrient is through sunlight making direct contact with skin. A handful of top health and nutrition experts have even recommended sunbathing in the nude for ten to fifteen minutes daily as a means of ingesting/manyfacturing sufficient amounts of this critically important vitamin in its most potent and bioavailable form.

In addition to foods and sunlight, perhaps the easiest way to ingest sufficient amounts of D3 is via supplementation. A number of high-quality Vitamin D3 Supplements exist to help one ingest enough of the nutrient on a regular basis, including when weather prohibits one from sunbathing.

I have included some links at the bottom of this post to additional educational Vitamin D3 resources.
