VITAMIN - D3. ...
D3 is only recently starting to get the recognition it deserves. It’s the main component that aids in the synthesis of proteins necessary for calcium absorption and is directly related to positive bone building. Calcium is absorbed through the intestines, and vitamin D3 is what enables this process to occur. Often you’ll see vitamin D3 coupled into calcium supplements. It’s for this reason. After vitamin D enters your body, through your skin or a supplement, it’s converted into 25 (OH)D, and then it’s considered “activated.” From here, it fulfills its role as an aid in calcium absorption.
Typically, vitamin D is hard to get from food since few foods contain the necessary amounts. The next two options are sun exposure and Supplement. Vitamin D is interesting in the fact that your body is able to synthesize it from sunlight — a trait that’s not seen with other vitamins. Most people love a tan, myself included.
It’s suggested that roughly 20 minutes of sun exposure will give your body the adequate supply it needs, but it’s crucial to take this advice with a grain of salt. The amount of sun exposure that an individual can withstand from short term and long term sun exposure is hard — if not impossible — to correctly determine. You must consider the UVA/UBA strength of the sun where you are, the time of year, latitude, your family history and your ethnicity. Over exposure can lead to wrinkles, premature aging, and of course, different types of skin cancer.
On this one, it’s just easier to just play it safe
3. TAKE SUPPLIMENTS and practice safe sun exposure to get the best of both worlds.
Just a little FYI: The difference between vitamin d2 and d3 basically comes down to the fact that vitamin d2 can be toxic in large quantities and it’s not easily synthesized for supplement form. D3 is a result of the vitamin d we know — synthesized from the sun. It’s the one we need .
THE END.....👌👌👌
