VITAMIN D - WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

VITAMINE D (25-OH-BITAMIN D)
Vitamin D is excreted when calcium levels are low in order to increase its absorption from the intestine.
 
WHY IS IMPORTANT?
Children need it to build their maximum bone density and adults to maintain bone homeostasis and metabolism. Especially in postmenopausal women where it increases the risk of osteoporosis helps to delay the reduction of bone mass.
 
HOW WE WORK?
25-OH-BITAMINH D is the primary form that reflects the vitamin's vitality in the body. It can be measured reliably when we are fasting and the Doctor for better metabolic evaluation will also ask PARATORMON, COSMETICS & PHOSPHORUS to be measured (IN THE BLOOD AND THE WAY)
 
 
WHO MUST WE PREPARE?
• Infants who are breastfeeding, children in the development phase
• Pregnant and lactating women
• Postmenopausal women
• People over the age of 50
• Patients with hepatic and renal insufficiency
• Persons not exposed to the sun (night work, stay in institutions)
• In malabsorption (pancreatitis, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, medicines like phenytoin.

WHAT IS VITAMIN D?
90% is produced in the body after exposure to the ultraviolet radiation of the sun. The remaining 10% is taken from food. (Fatty Fish-SALOMOS-SARDELA-TONOS-SKUMPRI-RINGA), egg yolk, liver.
There are foods enriched with Vitamin D (juices, milk, cereals).
