Many people only associate the ‘sunshine vitamin’ with its role in promoting bone mineral density, as it ensures that the essential bone-building mineral calcium is transported within the body. But the importance of calciferols (the scientific name for the vitamin D group) is much broader than this.
Examples of vitamin D’s additional benefits include its role in muscle activity, and thus also the cardiovascular system and overall physical performance; its role in the regulation of hormone production, with implications for blood sugar and blood pressure; the part it plays in the normal maturation of cells (skin, mucous membrane, etc.); and the protection it affords against inflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, as well as against breast, prostate, pancreatic, and other types of cancer.
