Elexir PharmaD3 Vitamin 2500IE 30 pcs

In the Nordics, vitamin D is a hot commodity. Vitamin D is produced in the skin when exposed to sunlight during the spring and summer months in Sweden. From May to September, your skin absorbs it like a champ, as long as you’re not slathering on sunscreen or rocking full-coverage clothing. During the summer, the sun is your main source of vitamin D, but from late fall to spring, you can pretty much forget about any significant synthesis in your body since UV-B rays get filtered out of the atmosphere when the sun is low. Until just a few years ago, many assumed that the amount of vitamin D synthesized in the body during the summer would cover their needs throughout the winter, since vitamin D is fat-soluble and can be stored in the body. However, we now know that the synthesized amount is often not enough, and only certain individuals produce the quantity required to meet a larger portion of their needs during the winter months. So, many risk having low levels of vitamin D for a good chunk of the year. Sunscreen protects – but also blocks vitamin D synthesis Using sunscreen is super important for protecting your skin from the harmful effects of the sun’s rays. But here’s the catch: it also blocks the process where those rays synthesize and create our natural stores of vitamin D in the skin. Your skin tone plays a role in how effectively absorption happens too. The darker your skin, the less vitamin D you absorb. Fair-skinned folks in the North tend to slather on extra sunscreen to avoid getting red and burned, which is totally valid, but that also means we miss out on vitamin D. Many opt to cover up with clothing or chill in the shade, which also means we’re missing out on that sunny vitamin D goodness. Vitamin D in your diet Unfortunately, vitamin D isn’t found in large amounts in our diets, which is why some dairy products are fortified with it. You can also find it in smaller amounts in eggs and meat. Fatty fish like salmon, sardines, and mackerel are excellent sources of vitamin D. Some mushrooms, like chanterelles, actually contain a bit of vitamin D, but in a more inactive form. Affects vital systems in the body Vitamin D has the power to influence the functions of several cells in the body, which in turn affects our health in various ways. It plays a crucial role in the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, ensuring that the nervous system and muscles function normally, and it also contributes to a well-functioning immune system. Other parts of the body, like bones and teeth, depend on vitamin D, and it’s essential for the cell division process.
