Types Of Vitamins

- Water-Soluble – Vitamins C and B are water soluble, which do not stay in the body for long periods of time and leave the body through urine.
Introduction
Cholecalciferol is a type of Vitamin D3 which is made by the skin when it is exposed to sunlight, or in the form of food which is followed by UVB exposure to light. Cholecalciferol undergoes liver-to-calcifediol (25-hydroxyvitamin D) conversion before entering the kidneys to become calcitriol (1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D). It is taken as an oral dietary supplement which prevents the deficiency of Vitamin D which treats various diseases such as Ricket. Cholecalciferol was first discovered in 1936 and it is enlisted on the World Health Organization’s list of Essential Medicines. Vitamin D is an essential vitamin that your body uses for the normal development of bone and maintenance.

It is naturally found in the mountain region, with trees in abundance. They are made up of two or more dissimilar organisms which are cyanobacteria or fungus; these algae use their photosynthetic activity to produce more food. Lichen can tolerate cold and dry conditions which require only little rainfall to survive.
- Mushrooms – Mushroom is the richest source of Vitamin D3, which is the most common form in animal foods. When exposed to sunlight it synthesises Vitamin D. It is helpful in enhancing the immune system and increases the strength of bones. Mushrooms convert Ergosterol into Vitamin D which absorbs calcium and phosphorus. It is a powerful agent which is helpful in combating the disease. Essential for the growth of cells and the formation of bones.
- Spirulina – Spirulina is a blue-green algae which improves the health of the bones and enhances bone growth and strength by stimulating the parathyroid hormone and growth hormone. It increases the antioxidant activity. It is also a good source of Vitamin B12, Magnesium and Calcium as it has essential minerals and proteins for bone health, thus protecting the bone cells by limiting the effects of free radicals.
- Chlorella – Chlorella is a complete protein source which is rich in calcium, keeps the bone stronger and is helpful in supporting the absorption of calcium. It is also a rare source of Vitamin K2 which further prevents Osteoporosis and promotes healthy and stronger teeth. Maintains normal functioning of the muscles and nerves. It is rich in natural magnesium which maintains the normal muscle and converts Vitamin D into the active form which enhances the absorption of calcium.

Metabolism Of Vitamin D
- When Vitamin D enters circulation, it is bound with alpha globulin which is known as Vitamin D Binding Protein.
- Vitamin D is not an active compound that undergoes a series of transformations in the liver than in the kidney, forming the active compound 1, 25- dihydroxyvitamin D.
- In the Liver, the vitamin D-25 hydroxylase converts to 25- Hydroxyvitamin D
- This enzyme is located in the microsomal and mitochondrial fraction of the hepatocyte.
- While the microsomal enzyme is somewhat regulated by previously generated vitamin D metabolites, the mitochondrial enzyme is not affected by the organism’s vitamin D status.
- As a result, the amount of vitamin D present in the plasma from either dietary or endogenous sources is the most crucial element in determining the amount of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the plasma or serum.
