Vitamin D is receiving a lot of media attention due to the large amount of recent research that highlights its important role in the body and goes beyond its “traditional” use for bone maintenance. Hence, its control and supplementation is increasingly increasing. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that can be presented as D2 (ergocalciferol) or as D3 (cholecalciferol). The form of D2 comes from plant sources, such as mushrooms, while D3 or cholecalciferol comes from foods of animal origin such as dairy, meat and fish. It can also be obtained through exposure of the skin to sunlight, although there are several factors that influence this route such as skin pigmentation, environmental pollution, climate, the use of sun creams or sex. The D3 form has greater bioavailability and is the most recommended form for use in supplements. Vita D 2,500 provides 2,500 IU of vitamin D in the form of D3 or cholecalciferol, an amount adjusted to the most common requirements among the population and appropriate for both frequent and occasional use. Vitamin D helps the proper functioning of muscles and the immune system. Vitamin D contributes to proper maintenance of teeth and bones.
