(Medical-NewsWire.com, December 15, 2014 ) Hollywood, Florida -- Vitamin D has long since been known as the sunshine vitamin because it is produced naturally by the body when skin is exposed to the sun's ultra violet rays. Technically speaking, vitamin D is actually a hormone which plays a crucial role within the body, having an influence on all internal organs and bodily functions.
A lack of vitamin D has in recent years been linked to a number of serious illnesses, including prostate cancer and breast cancer. Vitamin D deficiency is also the sole cause of rickets; a serious childhood bone disease that can leave children with severe bone deformities. Osteoporosis, a sort of adult for of rickets, is also often caused by a lack of vitamin D. Both diseases can be prevented by means of maintaining an adequate vitamin D status.
Prior to the discovery of vitamin D, rickets was common across the globe, and sadly, it was also untreatable. These days the disease can be prevented by means of vitamin D supplementation. Other bone diseases such as osteoporosis are also prevented and treated in the same way.
Health experts have warned that vitamin D deficiency has been increasing at an alarming pace during the last two decades. A deficiency can be caused by a number of things, but the most common cause is a lack of direct sunlight.
"People simply don't want to spend a lot of time in the sun anymore", said Mr. Oliver Adams, a nutramina.com spokesman. "Our ancestors spent most of their lives outdoors, but today we spend most of our lives indoors. It's perfectly understandable that people are afraid of skin cancer and premature aging, but if they aren't allowing their bodies to produce enough vitamin D then they need to look for alternatives, and that is exactly what many people are doing", he said.
Nutra Mina, which is based in Hollywood, has announced that demand for their vitamin D3 5000 IU supplements has soared as people begin to prepare for the winter. Others in the field have reported similar findings, with some experts now saying that people are only now beginning to realize just how important vitamin D actually is.
Despite a considerable amount of research supporting the health benefits of vitamin D, healthcare professionals are still advising that consumers should exercise some caution before starting a vitamin D supplement regime. "If in doubt, always discuss your intentions with a qualified medical practitioner", says Oliver Adams from Nutra Mina.
