Description 📝

What is Vitamin D and what does it do?
Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that helps the body maintain strong bones 🦴 by assisting in the absorption of calcium, one of the main building blocks for bone health. A lack of Vitamin D can lead to conditions like rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, which cause bones to become soft, thin, and brittle.

Beyond bone health, Vitamin D plays important roles in:

• Muscle function 💪
• Nerve signaling ⚡ (carrying messages between the brain and body parts)
• Immune system 🛡️ (fighting off bacteria and viruses)
• Protecting against osteoporosis in older adults when paired with calcium.

What foods provide Vitamin D? 🍽️

Vitamin D is naturally present in very few foods, but good sources include:

• Fatty fish 🐟 like salmon, tuna, and mackerel
• Beef liver 🍖
• Cheese 🧀
• Egg yolks 🥚
• Mushrooms 🍄 (some mushrooms have boosted Vitamin D content after being exposed to ultraviolet light)

Can we get Vitamin D from the sun? ☀️

Yes! The body can produce Vitamin D when the skin is exposed to direct sunlight. However, sunlight through windows won't help generate Vitamin D.

Forms of Vitamin D Supplements 💊

Vitamin D supplements are available in two forms:

• D2 (Ergocalciferol)
• D3 (Cholecalciferol) — this form is used in Ridge-D Drops and is known to increase Vitamin D levels more effectively and for a longer duration.

Who might need Vitamin D supplementation? 🌍

Certain groups are more prone to Vitamin D deficiency and might benefit from supplementation, including:

• Breast-fed infants 🍼 (human milk is a poor source of Vitamin D)
• Older adults 👵 (their skin produces less Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight)
• People with dark skin 🧑🏽‍🦱 (darker skin absorbs less sunlight, reducing Vitamin D production)

People with the following conditions may also benefit:

• Rickets
• Osteomalacia
• Bone disorders
• Asthma 🌬️
• Respiratory infections 🤧
• Cancer 🎗️
• Brain disorders 🧠
• Immune system issues 🛡️
• Diabetes Mellitus
• Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
