People are recognizing the importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gnc.com\/vitamins-a-z\/vitamin-d\/\">supplementing vitamin D<\/a>, especially in areas of the world with limited sun exposure for our skin to synthesize it from the UVB light (for example, areas in the Northern hemisphere during colder parts of the year). It should also be noted if you are wearing sunscreen, your body cannot make vitamin D.<\/p><p>With all this recent buzz, what actually is vitamin D? Vitamin D was discovered as a vitamin in the early 20th century, but its actions prove otherwise. Vitamin D is the overarching term for two forms including vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and D2 (ergocalciferol) [1].<\/p><p>One of vitamin D\u2019s major biological functions in humans is to maintain serum calcium and phosphorus concentrations within normal range. Vitamin D does this by enhancing the efficiency of the small intestine to absorb these minerals from the diet. While this vitamin is most known for regulating the calcium and phosphorus concentrations to support bone health, it also acts as a precursor to hormones.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

You can take vitamin D and D3 together.<\/p><p>Adequate vitamin D is essential throughout the lifecycle to build and maintain bone mineral density. Daily supplementation of vitamin D provides dietary support to help maintain healthy bones and normal blood calcium levels.<\/p><p>Blood levels of vitamin D, known as calcifediol, are a combination of 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 and D3 which is the form that\u2019s metabolized by the liver. Keeping healthy blood levels of vitamin D is important for the many metabolic processes and functions of the prohormone.<\/p><p>Therefore, knowing which form to supplement with is paramount. Although both forms can be used to supplement and improve vitamin D status, vitamin D3 is more effective at raising blood levels of calcifediol than D2. Vitamin D3 is more effective because D2 is more sensitive to environmental factors and more likely to degrade over time [3]. Ultimately both vitamin D2 and D3 get converted through enzymatic reactions in the liver and kidneys to the active form of vitamin D and can be taken together [1].<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element
