We are blessed to live in a sunny country, like Greece! However, epidemiological studies suggest that we are deficient in the “sunshine” vitamin D!
Vitamin D is a very important fat-soluble substance, which was discovered during the search of the cause of rickets and osteomalacia in children. It is considered one of the very few vitamins produced in our body, and more specifically in our skin by the exposure in sunlight and ultraviolet radiation in the most active form of D3, cholecalciferol. In recent years, numerous scientific studies have revealed vitamin’s D3 health properties.
Vitamin D3:
- Contribute to the normal function of the immune system*
- Contributes to normal absorption/utilisation of calcium and phosphorus*
- Contributes to normal blood calcium levels*
- Contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function, bones and teeth*
- Has a role in the process of cell division*
- Is needed for normal function of the immune system, normal growth and development of bone in children*
- Helps to reduce the risk of falling associated with postural instability and muscle weakness. Falling is a risk factor for bone fractures among men and women 60 years of age and older*
*Official claims by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
