Vitamin D is crucial to the body as it meliorates in the organic process and role of Calcium and Phosphorous thus maintaining solid teeth and bones.
Through ultraviolet rays from the sunlight on the skin, the rays are able to activate some class of cholesterin on the skin thus modifying it into vitamin D. The quantity of vitamin D that is made from these rays is dependent on the time of the year because several seasons do not have sunlight at all or sunlight moments are very nominal. Other agents that decide the magnitude of Vitamin D one can make through exposure to the sun include; latitude and longitude where one lives and the skin coloration (non-white skin necessitates more exposure to the sun to assemble sufficient vitamin D as compared to white skins which necessitate less time of exposure.
As a result ninety percent of vitamin D that finds function in human beings is produced by nature by means of exposure to the sunshine. This is limited to the exposure of the skin to unique rays called ultraviolet B which leads to the formation of a previtamin known as vitamin D 3. The vitamin is also referred to as a prohormone because it does not bear any hormonal activity in alone, but once in the body, it is modifyed into a hormone.
The skill of the skin to modify this previtamin into an active hormone minifys with age, As a result the more mature one gets, the less capability he/she has in the modification of the previtamin into an active hormone in the body.
