Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, teeth, muscle function and immune function. It also contributes to normal absorption/utilisation of calcium and phosphorus.
The classic vitamin D deficiency disease is rickets. As fear of sun-exposure has grown and lifestyles have become more sedentary, exposure to the sun has dropped dramatically and vitamin D deficiency and the incidence of rickets has surged.
The skin cannot create vitamin D if covered in sunscreen or clothing. It is thought that a sun cream with SPF15 will reduce the skin’s ability to synthesize vitamin D by more than 95%.
