Vitamin D is essential for normal bone growth and development, and to maintain bone density. It is also necessary for utilization of both calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D acts as a hormone and increases reabsorption of calcium and phosphorus by the kidneys and increased bone turnover. Vitamin D may also increase the calcium around damaged joints in persons with gout and rheumatoid arthritis. Vitamin D3 has been used to prevent and treat various cancers, including breast and prostate. Scientific evidence supports the concept that vitamin D likely plays an important role in controlling autoimmunity and MS. People with adequate access to sunlight usually do not need dietary vitamin D because ultraviolet light converts 7-dehydrocholesterol (abundant in skin) to vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Chronic vitamin D deficiency exists in populations which live in low sunlight climates. Because the use of steroidal drugs (in MS treatment) depletes vitamin D supplies and inhibits absorption, supplementation is quite beneficial. Anyone suffering from immune or autoimmune disorders can benefit from vitamin D supplementation.
