Vitamin D is a fat-soluble steroid hormone precursor that
contributes to the maintenance of normal levels of calcium and
phosphorus in the bloodstream. Strictly speaking, it is not a
vitamin since human skin can manufacture it, but it is referred to
as one for historical reasons. It is often known as calciferol. The
major biologic function of vitamin D is to maintain normal blood
levels of calcium and phophorus. Vitamin D aids in the absorption
of calcium, helping to form and maintain strong bones. It promotes
bone mineralisation in concert with a number of other vitamins,
minerals and hormones. Without vitamin D, bones can become thin,
brittle, soft or misshapen. Vitamin D prevents rickets in children
and osteomalacia in adults -- skeletal diseases that result in
defects that weaken bones. This book gathers international research
on the leading-edge of the scientific front.
