Vitamin D is a prehistoric hormonal molecule that has always served a fundamental role in supporting survival. It is produced during photosynthesis by all life forms, from phytoplankton (~750 million years ago) to mammals and humans. Vitamin D was likely the first key molecule to act in response to stress, triggering an immune response. Vitamin D helps cells of the innate immune system kill bacteria and viruses. Vitamin D works best when combined with another important nutrient – vitamin K. While one of vitamin D's main functions is to ensure adequate calcium levels in the blood, vitamin K promotes calcium storage in bones and teeth, while reducing its unwanted accumulation in soft tissues such as blood vessels. The main natural source of vitamin D is its synthesis in the lower layers of the epidermis, initiated by UVB radiation. Vitamin D can also be obtained through diet and supplements. Approximately 1 billion people worldwide suffer from vitamin D deficiency. In Europe, over 40% of the population may not have adequate levels of vitamin D. The main causes are lack of sun exposure due to a sedentary, indoor lifestyle and poor diet.
