Dear
Bar , me
years back I re-
call you wrote
about vitamin
D. Would you
mind revisiting/refreshing that
topic? Thanks, Joan.

r: Dear Joan, No,
I don't mind. Vitamin
.
is oft-inquired about.
knswe
Indeed, the perceived effects of
the lack of vitamin D have been
under discussion medically since
the mid 17th century.

Vitamin D actually refers to a
group of steroid molecules whose
primary biological function in
humans is regulating body levels
of calcium and phosphorus.
Vitamin D may also play a role in
preventing or alleviating muscle
weakness/pain, multiple sclerosis,
diabetes, cancer, high blood
pressure, and a host of
other maladies.

Two forms of vitamin D
are important in humans:
v tamin D2 (ergocalcif-
erol) and vitamin D3
(cholecalciferol). Vita-
min D2 is produced by
plants. Vitamin D3 is
produced by humans
,„ in the skin when it is
exposed to ultraviolet-B
(UVB) rays from sunlight.

There is some conflicting evidence
that vitamin D3 (a current darling
of the supplement industry) is bet-
ter absorbed and perhaps more
efficacious than vitamin D2. A
registered dietitian can help.
