As Canadians living north of the equator, sun exposure is not always guaranteed and winters can be long. This is problematic not only because of the health implications in the absence of light and outdoor exposure, but also because of the role that ultraviolet (UV) radiation plays in the synthesis of vitamin D3 in the body.
Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is the preferred form of vitamin D for optimal bioavailability and function in the body. It is naturally photosynthesized in skin tissue from the cholesterol compound 7-dehydrocholesterol after exposure to UV-B rays. However, current estimates suggest that one in three Canadians suffer from overt vitamin D deficiency due to inadequate sun exposure, poor diet, medication, obesity and other stressors. About 2 in 3 Canadians have adequate but suboptimal levels of vitamin D.
These figures are concerning because vitamin D is essential for countless actions in the human body. It is best known for its ability to positively regulate the absorption of calcium from the gut. However, research over the past two decades has found that vitamin D3 is necessary for proper immune function, mood health, cardiovascular function, healthy skin, and proper gene expression. Consider that vitamin D receptors (VDRs) are found in dozens of tissues, including the thyroid, adrenals, pancreas, skeletal muscles, cardiovascular tissues, colon, liver, kidneys, breasts, and throat. retina. With that in mind, it's no surprise that many experts now refer to vitamin D3 as a hormone with the ability to actually alter gene production and expression.
