Vitamin D or vitamin sun that can be obtained from food or produced from human skin exposed to sunlight, is a weapon that plays an important role in enhancing the immune system.
In particular, vitamin D has become a weapon of the body T cells, ie cells that attack and destroy bacteria and viruses in the body.
Scientists at the University of Copenhagen have found that vitamin D is essential to activate our immune system. Without adequate vitamin D intake, killer cells of the immune system (T cells) will not be able to react and fight serious infections in the body.
In order for T cells can detect and kill foreign pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, the cells must be triggered first and then transformed from inactive cells and harmful become killer cells that are ready to seek and destroy all the attackers.
The researchers found that T cells depend on vitamin D in the activation process. Then the body will be vulnerable if the deficiency of vitamin D in the blood. "This means that T cells must have vitamin D or the activation of the cell will stop. If the T cells can not find enough vitamin D in the blood, they will not even begin to mobilize,".

The result of this discovery makes scientists believe that providing much needed information on the immune system will help regulate the immune response. This is important not only in combating disease
, but also in relation to anti-immune reactions in the body and organ transplant rejection.
After organ transplantation, T cells can attack the donor organ as 'foreign invaders'. In autoimmune diseases such as arthritis or Crohn's disease, T cell fragments are wrong (the body's cells for foreign invaders) directs the body to carry out attacks on himself.
Scientists have long known that vitamin D is important for the absorption of calcium and vitamin has also been involved in diseases such as cancer and multiple sclerosis. But what we do not realize is how vitamin D is important to fully activate the immune system.
It would be very useful to develop a new vaccine, which works exactly as the basic building our immune system. And react either suppress the body's natural defenses in critical situations (as in the case of organ transplantation and autoimmune disease).
Most vitamin D is produced as a natural product skin from sun exposure. It can also be found in fish liver oils, eggs and fatty fish like salmon, herring and mackerel, or can be derived from dietary supplements.
