It is difficult to find someone who is not aware of the importance of vitamin D in preventing rickets in children. Older people remember being fed unpalatable fish oil as a child. But few people know about the importance of vitamin D for adults. Until recently, vitamin D deficiency was associated mainly with the risk of rickets in children. Indeed, in childhood and adolescence, adequate vitamin D levels are needed to support the development of skeletal cells and growth.

Recent studies have shown many positive aspects of the effects of vitamin D on the health of people of different ages. It turns out that a decrease in the concentration of vitamin D is a potentially significant factor in the development of such serious diseases as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, infectious diseases, a number of autoimmune diseases, in pregnant women - the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus, preeclampsia, low birth weight in newborns. Vitamin D has been shown to be important for maintaining strength and muscle contraction, reducing the risk of falls in the elderly, and reducing muscle weakness. The protective effects of vitamin D in diseases of the skeletal system, in particular, rickets, osteoporosis and osteomalacia, have been completely improved.

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin found in few foods and is also synthesized in the skin by ultraviolet rays. The production of vitamin D by the skin depends on many factors, in particular: the degree of skin pigmentation (skin pigmentation and the use of sunscreens significantly suppress the synthesis of vitamin D in the skin), the area of the skin exposed by clothing. The latitude of the location of the region, the length of the day, and the season are also important. It turns out that in the northern regions from October to March the sun's rays fall at such an angle that the synthesis of vitamin D in the skin practically stops. Also, there is practically no synthesis of vitamin D in the morning or evening. In elderly people, there is a decrease in the synthesis of vitamin D, in people with obesity it is also deposited in adipose tissue with a violation of its availability for use in the body.

Adequate vitamin D status is associated with the health of infants, children, adolescents, working-age people and the elderly. In turn, inadequate vitamin D concentrations are frequently reported in patients suffering from a variety of diseases. To monitor the status of vitamin D supply, blood is examined for total vitamin D (D2 + D3) or 25 (OH) D, which displays the total amount of vitamin that is formed in the skin and comes with food and vitamin complexes.
