Studies suggest that cholecalciferol (D3) is the most bioavailable form of vitamin D, which has recently been the subject of renewed interest amongst nutritional scientists. A raft of new studies highlight the importance of vitamin D, not only in its traditional role in bone support, but also in areas including immune and mental health.
A fascinating new theory suggests that a reduced level of vitamin D in the blood during the winter increases susceptibility to flu infections. In fact the studies have suggested that it may be a deficiency in Vitamin D3 that could be at the root of the seasonal flu outbreaks, a mystery that has baffled health care professionals for the last century.
During the summer months, we generally see an increase in the body's vitamin D levels as it is produced when the skin is exposed to sunshine. Some researchers have suggested this additional Vitamin D3 boosts the body's natural immune defences.
