Health Benefits And Vitamin D
I like most consumers thought vitamin D was one vitamin, but you will be interested to know vitamin D belongs to a group of vitamins. When you see foods that are fortified with vitamin D take a close look at the label, this is known as vitamin D2. This is a different form of vitamin D it's an added nutrient. What exactly is fortified foods? Foods enriched with calcium. According to my research I have read the nutritional value is the same whether fortified or not. Vitamin D3 There is also a vitamin D3 which is not fortified. And is a natural form of vitamin D which is found in food such as egg yolks. vitamin D. is the sunshine vitamin everyone knows (I will use the term loosely ) there may be some who are unaware that our bodies convert sunlight into vitamin D. This is an interesting, and fact finding process. I hope to do this hub justice by attempting to explain the process, but I am fascinated by the way the body converts sun rays into vitamin D. Let's Break The Process Into Steps 1. The body receives raise from the sun
2. Activation of cholesterol takes place
3. Cholesterol turns into cholecalciferol (good form)
4. Cholecaliferol goes into the liver and kidneys
5. Another transformation takes place in the liver and kidney turing cholecalciferol into D25 and dihydroxycholecalciferol D125
6. The body begins to utilize vitamin D by traveling through the blood to specific organs such as; brain, skin, bones, and immune system.
