What does Vit D do & why does your doctor monitor it?
1. Protects against respiratory infections
– Vitamin D — the ‘sunshine vitamin’ — is thought to protect against respiratory infections by boosting levels of antimicrobial peptides — natural antibiotic-like substances — in the lungs. Results of the study fit with the observation that colds and ‘flu are commonest in winter and spring, when levels of vitamin D are at their lowest. They may also explain why vitamin D protects against asthma attacks, which are commonly triggered by respiratory viruses.
2. Enhances macrophages, monocytes, pathogens
– Vitamin D acts as an important stimulant for innate immunity came from reports about tuberculosis treatment with cod liver oil (reviewed in [39]).
– Enhances the antimicrobial effects of macrophages and monocytes, which are important effector cells, fighting against pathogens
3. Supports your adaptive immune system
– Autoimmune diseases are characterized by a loss of immune homeostasis resulting in corrupted self-antigen recognition followed by the destruction of body tissue by autoreactive immune cells.
– Moves T & B cells from a proinflammatory status
