Vitamin D is not actually a vitamin, but a pro-hormone

It is produced in the body through a complex multi-step process, primarily from cholesterol, when exposed to UV-B radiation from the sun. Through diet alone, we can only obtain 10-20% of the required amount of vitamin D.

Vitamin D is an extremely versatile nutrient, directly influencing at least 2000 of the 30,000 genes in the human body. It plays a role in cell division, contributes to the maintenance of healthy bones, teeth, and muscle function, and is also essential for the normal functioning of the immune system. [01.]

Research suggests that vitamin D may play a key role in preventing several modern diseases, such as:

• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Cancer
• Joint problems
• Obesity
• Depression
• Autoimmune diseases

Vitamin D and the immune system

Vitamin D supports healthy cell division, playing a role in protecting against autoimmune diseases, as well as common colds and flu.

Vitamin D is essential for activating the body's T-lymphocyte cells (a type of white blood cell), which identify and destroy viruses and bacteria. This process only works properly in the presence of sufficient vitamin D, meaning a deficiency can weaken immune defense. 

Studies have shown that vitamin D receptors in the immune system help combat chronic and excessive inflammation. [02.]

Inflammation is often a contributing factor to modern chronic and autoimmune diseases, such as:

• Multiple sclerosis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Irritable bowel syndrome and other digestive disorders
• High blood pressure
• Other common illnesses

10 conditions where we recommend using MANNA-D

Vitamin D and insulin levels

Insufficient or improper insulin secretion can lead to diabetes or insulin resistance.
Studies suggest that calcium is essential for insulin secretion, and vitamin D may help regulate insulin release. 

Adequate vitamin D intake can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation formation. Further studies confirm vitamin D's role in combatting both types of diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2). [03,]

Vitamin D and the hormonal system

Since vitamin D functions as a hormone in the human body and influences brain function, its deficiency is more likely to result in mood disorders such as:

• Depression
• Seasonal depression (also known as "winter blues," which is actually a serious issue)
• Severe mood swings
• Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
• Insomnia and anxiety

Vitamin D is required—either directly or indirectly—for the production of most hormones in the body. Its deficiency can hinder the proper production of testosterone and estrogen, which disrupts the body's balance and may lead to unwanted symptoms. [04,]

Manna-D properties

Vitamin D, calcium, and phosphorus

Vitamin D plays a crucial role in the absorption of calcium in bones. Calcitriol (the active form of vitamin D) works together with the parathyroid hormone to maintain proper calcium levels. Additionally, it influences other key vitamins and minerals, including vitamin K and phosphorus, which contribute to overall health. [05,]

Vitamin D is partly responsible for maintaining blood phosphorus levels and, since it affects the calcium-binding ability of proteins, it is also closely linked to vitamin K.

A deficiency of vitamin D can lead to bone softening (osteomalacia) and bone deformation (rickets). Furthermore, vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of osteomalacia, fractures, and bone cracks.

Studies have shown that consuming 800-5000 IU of vitamin D daily can:

• Improve musculoskeletal health
• Naturally slow down aging processes
• Reduce the risk of fractures in individuals over 65 years old

A low vitamin D level can lead to overactive parathyroid glands (hyperparathyroidism), which depletes the body's phosphorus reserves. 

Along with calcium and other compounds, phosphorus is essential for maintaining strong bones. 

Vitamin D and cancer

Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to an increased risk of certain cancers, particularly: breast,colorectal,ovarian and prostate cancer. The relationship between breast, colorectal, and ovarian cancer and vitamin D levels is attributed to vitamin D's impact on the cell cycle and its role in regulating estrogen excess. [06,]

Vitamin D and cardiovascular health

An increasing number of studies suggest a strong link between vitamin D deficiency and cardiovascular diseases, as vitamin D plays an important role in:

• Regulating blood pressure
• Managing cholesterol levels
• Reducing inflammation

Although recent research has not definitively proven that vitamin D prevents heart disease or stroke, it is well known that a deficiency increases the risk of coronary artery blockage and other heart-related fatalities. This is likely because sufficient vitamin D levels help prevent calcium buildup in the arterial walls.

Warnings: Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of children. Do not exceed the recommended daily dosage.
