Abstract in brief

  • The text explains how vitamin D works in the body, mainly focusing on its role in helping calcium and phosphorus absorption to support healthy bones.
  • It details the process by which vitamin D is converted into its active form, calcitriol, which then binds to specific receptors to influence gene expression.
  • The text highlights the importance of vitamin D in regulating immune function and maintaining overall health.]

@ShineTeller @LocalRachel @RSemilath The mode of action of Vitamin D in body, in particular the brain is very different from the skin. Let's simply say, it's cleaning debris on the skin, it's with covid causing damage inside; especially neuronal cell damage. Sun bed, but not too much (5 minutes low power / week)
