               The body manufactures Vitamin D through sun exposure, which makes it difficult to obtain adequate amounts of vitamin D during cloudy weather or winter months. This vitamin is manufacture from cholesterol.  Everyone is speaking negatively about cholesterol and even worse about the sun.  The reaction between the sun and cholesterol in the skin results in the Vitamin D that is manufactured by our own bodies.  Vitamin D comes in two forms, D2 and D3. Of the two, D3 is more bioactive.
 
               In the body, vitamin D is responsible for maintaining normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus and for helping to build strong bones. Vitamin D works with other vitamins, minerals and hormones to promote bone mineralization. Additionally, research shows that vitamin D may help support a healthy immune system.  Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin and is stored in small amounts in the body, mainly in the bones and the liver.
