D-vitamiini on rasvaliukoinen vitamiini, jota saadaan ravinnosta. Se on myös hormoni, jota elimistö tuottaa ihossa auringonvalon vaikutuksesta. Veressä kiertävä D-vitamiini on näiden kahden summa. D-vitamiini on tärkeä vitamiini, joka esimerkiksi turvaa luulle tärkeiden rakennusaineiden riittävän saannin, vaikuttaa suotuisasti immuunipuolustusjärjestelmään ja vähentää infektiosairauksien riskiä

Epub 2007 Mar 27. Review.

Randomized comparison of the effects of the vitamin D3 adequate intake versus 100 mcg (4000 IU) per day on biochemical responses and the wellbeing of patients. Vieth R, Kimball S, Hu A, Walfish PG. Nutr J. 2004 Jul 19;3:8. PMID: 15260882 doi:10.1186/1475-2891-3-8 CONCLUSION: The highest AI for vitamin D brought summertime 25(OH)D to >40 nmol/L, lowered PTH, and its use was associated with improved wellbeing. The 100 mcg/day dose produced greater responses. Since it was ethically necessary to provide a meaningful dose of vitamin D to these insufficient patients, we cannot rule out a placebo wellbeing response, particularly for those on the lower dose. This work confirms the safety and efficacy of both 15 and 100 mcg/day vitamin D3 in patients who needed additional vitamin D.
