<p>Most of us are aware that we produce Vitamin D through exposure to sunlight. Varying factors such as the latitude you live at, the time of day you spend in sunlight, changing seasons, your age, culture, and your type of skin pigmentation all have a major influence on how much vitamin D you produce through the skin.</p>
<p>With many of us working indoors for most of the day, it is important to be mindful of your body’s requirement for Vitamin D. Read our article <a href="https://www.healthpost.co.nz/blog/vitamin-d-are-you-getting-enough-of-the-sunshine-vitamin/" target="_blank">Vitamin D – are you getting enough of the sunshine vitamin?</a></p>
<h2>What is Vitamin D and Vitamin D3?</h2>
<p>Vitamin D is technically not a vitamin, it is what is known as a prohormone that is synthesised by the skin in response to sunlight. The body then converts Vitamin D into hormones that have various actions around the body. Vitamin D3 is the bioactive form which is commonly found in supplements, as it is readily absorbed by the body.</p>
<h3>Why choose Vitamin D with Vitamin K?</h3>
<p>In supplements you’ll often find Vitamin D combined with <a href="https://www.healthpost.co.nz/natural-health-supplements/vitamins/vitamin-k/">Vitamin K</a>. Both of these fat-soluble vitamins are crucial for healthy bone density and the bodys ability to use <a href="https://www.healthpost.co.nz/natural-health-supplements/minerals/calcium/">Calcium</a> (our key bone mineral). They work synergistically so it makes sense to take them in tandem.</p>
<h2>What is vitamin D good for? </h2>
<ul>
<li>Vitamin D is well known for supporting healthy bone density and calcium balance.</li>
<li>It supports healthy cellular processes for youthfulness and vitality.</li>
<li>Vitamin D supports healthy blood sugar levels.</li>
<li>Vitamin D has a role in supporting mood and emotional health.</li>
<li>Vitamin D is a winner when it comes to healthy immune function and supporting a robust immune response. For all round immune support, add in some <a href="https://www.healthpost.co.nz/natural-health-supplements/vitamins/vitamin-a/">Vitamin A</a> and <a href="https://www.healthpost.co.nz/natural-health-supplements/vitamins/vitamin-c/">Vitamin C</a>.</li>
<li>It supports healthy fertility in both males and females.</li>
<li>Vitamin D is important for a healthy pregnancy too, by supporting the growing baby.</li>
</ul>
<h2>How to take Vitamin D?</h2>
<ul>
<li>The best way to ensure adequate Vitamin D is to be mindful of your sun exposure. Start taking your breaks outside in the sun during low UV times of the day.</li>
<li>Foods such as eggs and oily fish contain very small amounts of Vitamin D.</li>
<li>Take a Vitamin D3 supplement during the winter months, or if you are missing out on daily sun due to being inside most of the day. Again, it is important to assess your own personal needs, taking into consideration your latitude and skin pigmentation, as some people have higher requirements than others.</li>
</ul>
