What is Vitamin D?
Vitamin D is an extremely important vitamin that has powerful effects on several systems throughout your body. Unlike other vitamins, vitamin D functions like a hormone. Every single cell in your body has a receptor for it. Your body makes Vit-D from cholesterol when your skin is exposed to sunlight.

Benefits of Vitamin-D:
1. Vit-D in the fight against Covid
Vitamin D receptor signalling has shown to play a role in decreasing the storm of cytokines and chemokines, modulating neutrophil activity in the renin angiotensin system and maintaining the pulmonary epithelial barrier. This means that Vit-D keeps inflammation away from your lungs. You need about 5000IU for proper protection.
2. Vitamin D fights disease
In addition to its primary benefits, research suggests that vitamin D may also play a role in:
- reducing your risk of multiple sclerosis, according to a 2006 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association
- decreasing your chance of developing heart disease, according to 2008 findings published in Circulation
- helping to reduce your likelihood of developing the flu, according to 2010 research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
3. Vitamin D reduces depression
Research has shown that vitamin D might play an important role in regulating mood and warding off depression. In one study , scientists found that people with depression who received vitamin D supplements noticed an improvement in their symptoms.
In another study of people with fibromyalgia, researchers found vitamin D deficiency was more common in those who were also experiencing anxiety and depression.
4. Vitamin D boosts weight loss
Consider adding vitamin D supplements to your diet if you’re trying to lose weight or prevent heart disease. In one study, people taking a daily calcium and vitamin D supplement were able to lose more weight than subjects taking a placebo supplement. The scientists said the extra calcium and vitamin D had an appetite-suppressing effect.
