Description

Vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol – is a biologically Active ingredient, a fat-soluble vitamin. It enters the human body with food, but its content in products is low, and absorption is possible only in a healthy intestine. Most of the vitamin D should be synthesized in the skin under the influence of ultraviolet light, but with sufficient time spent in the sun and sufficient intensity of UV radiation.

According to epidemiological studies1, more than 80% of the adult population in Russia has a lack or deficiency of vitamin D, and this deficiency is noted both in summer and winter. Only 3.5% of Russian women have normal levels of vitamin D.

The biological role of vitamin D is explained by the presence of specific receptors in more than 40 organs and tissues and the control of more than 200 genes.

Classical effects are associated with the regulation of calcium-phosphorus metabolism: vitamin D increases the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestines, increases their reabsorption by the kidneys, increases bone mineralization and elasticity, normalizes neuromuscular transmission, and prevents myopathies associated with impaired mineral metabolism (manifested by muscle weakness, difficulty walking, maintaining balance, and a tendency to fall).

Adequate levels of vitamin D in children prevent the development of rickets, and in adults – osteomalacia (reduced bone strength).

Non-classical (extra-bone effects):

Reproductive functions:  Vitamin D can positively affect the production of sex hormones (estradiol and progesterone). Vitamin D deficiency occurs in 67-85% of women with polycystic ovary syndrome. At the same time, restoring the recommended concentrations of vitamin D in the blood of these women contributes to the correction of metabolic disorders, improving the quality of the endometrium, and restoring the menstrual cycle.

In IVF programs, pregnancy occurs 1.5 times more often in women with sufficient levels of vitamin D. The probability of having a child after ART / IVF is significantly higher in women without vitamin D deficiency. Low vitamin D levels are associated with an increased risk of endometriosis. During menopause, the need for vitamin D increases due to an increased risk of developing osteoporosis.

Pregnancy:  During this period, vitamin D is especially important for both the mother and the unborn child. Studies show that low levels of vitamin D are associated with an increased risk of gestational diabetes, preterm birth, preeclampsia, and cesarean section.

Hypovitaminosis D in the mother leads to rickets in children, including congenital rickets, an increased risk of intrauterine infection and impaired immune regulation. Children born to mothers with normal vitamin D levels are less likely to develop respiratory viral infections and bronchiolitis.

Lactation:  The period of breastfeeding is a time of increased need for vitamin D for the mother.

Male fertility: Vitamin D deficiency in men can lead to the development of secondary hypogonadism (lack of sex hormones), a decrease in testosterone production, violations of spermogram parameters (a decrease in the total number of spermatozoa, the number of spermatozoa with normal morphology and a decrease in their mobility and linear velocity), as well as an increased risk of developing type II diabetes, which is a fact of the development of male infertility.

The nervous system:  By participating in the production of neurotransmitters (substances that transmit impulses between neurons), vitamin D has a positive effect on cognitive functions, psychoemotional sphere and performance, improves mood and helps to deal with stress.

The immune system:  The immunomodulatory effect is associated with the activation of all parts of the immune system. Vitamin D stimulates the activity of immune system cells in the bone marrow and has anti-inflammatory properties.

Metabolism:  Normal levels of vitamin D contribute to the normalization of fat metabolism, have a positive effect on the course of metabolic syndrome, and reduce the level of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipids. Normalization of energy production in cells leads to an increase in vitality.

Endocrine system:  Vitamin D deficiency plays a role in the development of insulin resistance and glucose tolerance. According to studies, against the background of vitamin D deficiency, the production of insulin by pancreatic cells decreases, the work of the parathyroid gland and adrenal glands is disrupted.

Special instructions

Do I need to take a blood test for vitamin D?

Yes, if this analysis is recommended that a physician; if You belong to a risk group for the development of vitamin-D deficiency (pregnant and lactating women, elderly (over 60 years), people with limited sun exposure, blacks, people with obesity, malabsorption in the gastrointestinal tract (Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, ulcerative colitis, bariatrics surgery, cystic fibrosis), the receiving prolonged courses of drug therapy (glucocorticoids, drugs, antifungal agents, anti-epileptic drugs), chronic renal and liver failure).

Can I take vitamin D without testing for blood vitamin D levels?

Yes, you can. According to the Russian Society of Endocrinologists, the majority of the Russian population has vitamin D deficiency or deficiency. This is due to the low vitamin content in food products; insufficient intensity of ultraviolet radiation in the population living above the 35th parallel (all of Russia) and insufficient time spent in the sun. State of deficiency and insufficiency is recommended to adjust further intake of vitamin D. In accordance with the recommendations of the Russian society of endocrinology, if you can not control the level of 25(Oh)D for long-term use (over 6 months) adult doctor can be assigned to the dose does not exceed 4000 IU per day – patients without risk factors; and not more than 10,000 IU per day for people with a risk of deficiency of vitamin D.

If the doctor recommended takinga higher dose of vitamin D, was he right?

In accordance with the current recommendations of the Russian Society of Endocrinologists, to maintain the optimal plasma concentration of vitamin D, a preventive intake of 1500-2000 IU per day is required. In case of impaired absorption or metabolism of vitamin D (for example, with obesity), the daily dose should be increased 2-3 times. If a vitamin deficiency or insufficiency is diagnosed, the doctor calculates the required dose of vitamin depending on the severity of the disorders, and this dose may significantly exceed the dose recommended to prevent deficiency.

Do I need to take vitamin D during the planning stage and during pregnancy?

During these periods of a woman’s life, vitamin D is especially necessary for both the mother and the unborn child.
