Abstract

Vitamin D a fat soluble vitamin is also a hormone which along with its effect on bone mineralization, exerts its effect on cells by binding to Vitamin D receptor present on most cell types in the body. Its broad spectrum of activities in skin, immune system, cell differentiation and development underlines its crucial role in regulation of metabolism. The present review is an attempt to provide compiled information on the crucial role played by this vitamin in controlling the functions of body tissues. This review also highlights necessary intake values, dietary sources, normal serum levels and toxicity associated with excess intake. The review article intends to spread the knowledge that vitamin D is absolutely critical for good health and disease prevention.

Keywords- Inactive Vitamin D3, Calcitriol, Vitamin D deficiency, Immune response, Cancer prevention.
