What is vitamin D?
The term vitamin D stands for a group of fat-soluble vitamins, although it is actually a prohormone , i.e. a precursor of important hormones in the human organism. Another difference to vitamins is that vitamin D can be synthesized by the body with the help of UV-B radiation . However, as this synthesis depends on many factors (age, place of residence, time of year, use of sun protection, etc.), it is advisable to take in sufficient vitamin D through food or supplements [4].
