Vitamin D is produced in the human body as a response to sunlight exposure. A person can also enhance his/her vitamin D intake through certain supplements and foods.
Vitamin D is a requisite for us due to several reasons, such as it maintains healthy bones because it helps the calcium to be absorbed in the bones and teeth. It also gives us protection against a range of diseases and conditions, for example some autoimmune disorders. Although it is named as a vitamin, in reality, vitamin D is a prohormone or precursor of a hormone. Vitamins are those essential nutrients that our body cannot create and therefore a person must consume them in the diet to compensate for the daily requirement. However, vitamin D is an exception, as the human body is able to produce this vitamin by itself.
In this article, we will briefly look at the role of vitamin D, what happens to the body if we do not obtain it in the required amount, and how to boost its intake.
Functions Of Vitamin D Inside Our Body:
Vitamin D has several roles in the body. Such as:
Helps in the formation of healthy bones and teeth
Supports immunity and nervous system health
Helps to regulate insulin levels and diabetes management
Supports healthy lung function and cardiovascular system
Influences the expression of genes that are involved in cancer development
Vitamin D Deficiency:
Although our bodies can make vitamin D on its own. but there is always a chance of a deficiency due to the following reasons:
1. Darker skin: Skin type and sunscreen decrease the skin’s ability to absorb the ultraviolet radiation B rays from the sun. Absorbing sunlight is vital for the skin to produce vitamin D.
2. Sunscreen: A sunscreen or sunblock with a sun protection factor (SPF) 30 can reduce the skin’s ability to make this vitamin up to 95% or even more. Covering the skin with clothing can also inhibit vitamin D production process.
3. Geographical location: People who live in northern latitudes or in high pollution areas, working night shifts, or are homebound should consume more vitamin D from food and supplements sources whenever possible.
4. Breastfeeding: newborns who exclusively breastfeed need a vitamin D supplement, especially if they have a darker skin tone or have less sun exposure.
5. Note: Although you can take vitamin D supplements it is best to obtain any vitamins or minerals through the natural sources.
Vitamin D Symptoms:

Regular sickness
Fatigue
