Traditionally, it has been known that sunshine supplies vitamin D, necessary for the body system. Right amount of exposure to sunrays indicates that one is getting adequate amount of vitamin D in his body.

India has been known as a nation where there is plenty of sunshine but also a growing pandemic has knocked the door of this nation, and that is its encounter with vitamin D deficiency.

Endocrinologist, Dr. H Chandalia opines that the pollutants monitor the UV rays that are desirable to get in touch with the skin to produce vitamin D.

Dr. Shashank Joshi, Consultant Endocrinologist at Lilavati Hospital agrees with that and says that not only do the UV rays get sifted out by the pollutants, but also the melanin on Indian skin further works as a block against vitamin D.

Vitamin D, which is a hormone that is capable of controlling bones by making sure that it absorbs calcium, is now increasingly been observed as the body’s immuno-modulator.

If an individual has regular infection or even Tubercolosis, a vitamin D scarcity in his body could cause major disorder.
