Discover how Vitamin D deficiency can affect many aspects of your daily well-being!
One of Vitamin D's main roles is to regulate the intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, two very important minerals for fixing calcium in bones and maintaining bone tissue healthy.
According to multiple international studies, Vitamin D is also essential for much more.
Vitamin D helps
HAIR, promotes hair health by increasing the number of hair follicles and consequently the amount of hair.
SKIN, improves skin in cases of rosacea acne.
BLOOD SUGAR AND OBESITY, it is a valuable aid in keeping blood sugar levels under control. By influencing blood glucose levels, it prevents the risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, contributing to weight balance.
AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES, VitD deficiency has been found in diseases such as fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative diseases, Alzheimer's, cardiovascular diseases, bronchial asthma.

How to avoid Vitamin D deficiency?
DIET, VitD is naturally found in oily fish, cod, salmon, caviar, fish roe, seafood, dairy products, mushrooms, and eggs, Cod and Salmon.
It is a fat-soluble vitamin, which is why it should be taken during or immediately after a meal, preferably accompanied by a fat-rich food.
For vitamin D to fix calcium in the bones, avoiding accumulation and hardening in the arteries, its intake must be accompanied by Vitamin K2 (not K1 which is used to thin the blood).
Furthermore, to optimize vitamin D absorption, in addition to VitK2, Magnesium is important.
Magnesium deficiency prevents the body from activating and utilizing the vitamin.
This explains why, despite taking vitamin D, levels remain low in some people.
Last but not least, exposing our entire body to the sun for at least 30 minutes every day is essential to synthesize the VitD we have consumed through food.

Why are we Vitamin D deficient?
According to an estimate by the Italian Association of Endocrinologists, 1 in 2 people is deficient, especially in winter.
Vitamin D deficiency is so widespread due to poor nutrition, diets and food restrictions, but mainly because we don't get enough sun exposure every day.
In winter, when it's no longer possible to expose oneself to natural sunlight, vitamin D levels tend to decrease, making us deficient.
