Miracle Vitamin?
About 90 per cent of the vitamin also known as calciferol, needed by a person is produced in the body. When skin is exposed to the ultraviolet rays, provitamin D present in the skin gets converted into previtamin It is isomerised by body heat to the precursor of vitamin D3, which is then transported to the liver through blood. Here, vitamin D3 gets converted to 25-hydroxy vitamin D and is sent to the kidneys where its active form calcitriol is formed. Calcitriol is important for maintaining calcium balance in the body. It also functions as a hormone and regulates the concentration of calcium and phosphate in blood.
The recommended exposure time to obtain this UV dose depends on the skin type, time and location as well as ambient conditions and clothing. Studies carried out in developed countries show that a full body exposure to UVB radiation that results in pinkness of skin (one erythemal dose) is equal to an oral intake of 250-625Jig (10,000-25,000 IV) of 25-hydroxy vitamin D. Exposing one-quarter of skin, for instance just hands, arms and face, to one erythemal dose of UVB rays can form dietary equivalent vitamin D dose of about 1,000 IU. However, no such calculation has been done for India, where the complexion of people varies from light to dark.
Initially, most of the known benefits of vitamin D were restriCted to those to the bones. But in recent years, the vitamin has been given the status of a miracle molecule due to the large number of extra-skeletal benefits it seems to have. Research around the world shows that it can prevent multiple sclerosis, diabetes, callcer, pre-eclampsia during pregnancy, low birth weight, and also improve immune response to TB, cognitive decline, Parkinson's disease, asthma and obesity.
But a recent report by USA's Institute of Medicine punctures the bubble-the 2011 report says the evidence that links vitamin D to all the myriad diseases is weak. The potential roles of vitamin D are currently best described as hypotheses of emerging interest, and the conflicting nature of available evidence cannot be used to establish health benefits with any level of confidence, 10M says.
At present standards for vitamin D are set down by using the level of 25D in the blood. But a study based on postmortems shows a large proportion of people who had less than 10 ng/ml of25D had normal bone histology.
Moreover, vitamin D is not the only nutrient required for adequate calcium levels, which ensure bone health. Calcium levels are also controlled by sodium and potassium levels in the diet. For instance, high intake of sodium increases excretion of calcium through urine, but it can be checked by adding more potassium in the diet. Consumption of alcohol, coffee and tea too reducE calcium absorption. Experts suggest consumption of carbonated soft drinks with high levels of phosphate can also lead to reduced bone mass and heighten risk of fracture.
