Vitamin D

 Vitamin D is a nutrient that helps your body absorb calcium, which is essential for strong bones and teeth. Vitamin D also plays a role in immune function, muscle function, and reducing inflammation.

Vitamin D is produced in the body when the skin is exposed to sunlight, and it can also be obtained through certain foods and supplements. Once vitamin D is in the body, it is converted into an active form called calcitriol, which binds to vitamin D receptors in cells throughout the body.

The vitamin D receptors then help regulate the expression of genes involved in calcium

absorption, bone growth, and immune function. By activating these receptors, vitamin D helps to maintain healthy bones, support immune function, and reduce inflammation.

However, it is important to note that excessive vitamin D intake can lead to toxicity, so it’s important to follow recommended intake guidelines and talk to your health care provider before taking vitamin D supplements
