The first activation occurs in the liver, while the second\nactivation occurs in the kidneys, allowing for regulation of calcium\nmetabolism. However, vitamin d receptors are present throughout the body, in\ntissue such as the skin, cartilage, heart, prostate, bones and intestines.\nThus, the second activation step also takes place in local tissues. Recent\ndiscoveries have highlighted the important modulatory effects of vitamin d on\nvarious cells of the immune system.vitamin d enhances and regulates immune\nfunction. It is known that various cells of the immune system, such as t\nlymphocytes and antigen presenting cells, express the vitamin d receptor on\ntheir surface when activated. Recently, it has been found that treatment of\nthese immune cells with vitamin d influences their expression of cytokines,\nwhich are chemical messengers of the immune system. The immune modulating\neffects of vitamin d extend to monocytes and dendritic cells of the immune\nsystem as well. Dendritic cells are important antigen-processing cells of the\nimmune system that function to initiate the immune response. Vitamin d may\nprevent overactivity of the immune response and keep the immune system in a\nnormal healthy state of vigilance.vitamin d supports optimal cardiovascular\nfunction. Research has uncovered the role vitamin d plays in supporting\ncardiac function. Heart myocytes (cells) express the vitamin d receptor, as do\nsmooth muscle cells of blood vessels. The benefits of vitamin d on the heart\nare potentially far-reaching. Studies on mice heart cells have shown that\nvitamin d administration impacts their growth and proliferation. In these\ncells, vitamin d inhibited the release of a protein that could be detrimental\nto the function of these cells, displaying cardioprotective properties. It has\nalso been shown that vitamin d has a modulatory effect on heart rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eVitamin D \"Sunshine vitamin\" - supports healthy bone density and structure; Vitamin D is required for optimal calcium absorption\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eProduct Note: Exposure to heat or sunlight may lead to melting\/damage of product.

Some researchers suggest that a minimum daily intake of 1,000 IU is necessary to maintain barely adequate blood levels of vitamin D. Others agree that much higher doses are needed to ensure levels are optimal enough to promote health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"py-vbody\" style=\"display: none\"\u003e\n\n\n","brand":"Doctor's Best","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43146690658529,"sku":"B0050MYHBQ","price":98.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0464\/0433\/7819\/products\/B0050MYHBQ.jpg?v=1669832241","url":"https:\/\/outfitocean.com\/products\/doctors-best-vitamin-d3-5-000-iu-for-healthy-bones-teeth-heart-and-immune-support-non-gmo-gluten-free-soy-free-360-count-pack-of-1","provider":"OutfitOcean Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
