Vitamin D is found in many dietary sources such as fish eggs fortified milk and cod liver oil. The sun also contributes significantly to the daily production of vitamin D and as little as 10 minutes of exposure is thought to be enough to prevent deficiencies. The term "vitamin D" refers to several different forms of this vitamin. Two forms are important in humans: ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). Vitamin D2 is synthesized by plants. Vitamin D3 is synthesized by humans in the skin when it is exposed to ultraviolet-B (UVB) rays from sunlight. Foods may be fortified with vitamin D2 or D3. The major biologic function of vitamin D is to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium helping to form and maintain strong bones. Recently research also suggests vitamin D may provide protection from osteoporosis hypertension (high blood pressure) cancer and several autoimmune diseases. Rickets and osteomalacia are classic vitamin D deficiency diseases. In children vitamin D deficiency causes rickets which results in skeletal deformities. In adults vitamin D deficiency can lead to osteomalacia which results in muscular weakness in addition to weak bones. Populations who may be at a high risk for vitamin D deficiencies include the elderly obese individuals exclusively breastfed infants and those who have limited sun exposure. Also individuals who have fat malabsorption syndromes (e.g. cystic fibrosis) or inflammatory bowel disease (e.g. Crohn's disease) are at risk.

News: Micronutrient powder helps prevent malnutrition in children up to two years old, study review shows
In a systematic review published by the Cochrane Collaboration last week, researchers found that the micronutrient powder used in recent years to combat malnutrition, anemia and iron deficiency in children was very helpful in preventing malnutrition in children six to 24 months old, VOA News reports. WHO epidemiologist Luz Maria De Regil "and other researchers combined the results of eight previous studies involving thousands of children," VOA writes, adding, "The studies were done on three continents, in countries as varied as Haiti, Cambodia and Ghana."
"Specifically, the supplement powder reduced anemia by about one-third and iron deficiency by half compared to no supplement or a placebo," VOA notes. "The micronutrient powder seems to be about equally effective as iron supplements, but the authors say that conclusion should be treated 'cautiously,' because of limited data," the news service adds (Chimes, 9/9).
