Gym for Life's video: Our T-cells need Vitamin D as ammunition to fight infection

Scientists at the University of Copenhagen have discovered that Vitamin D is crucial to activating our immune defenses and that without sufficient intake of the vitamin, the killer cells of the immune system T cells will not be able to react to and fight off serious infections in the body.

The researchers found that the T cells rely on vitamin D in order to activate and they would remain dormant, ‘naive’ to the possibility of threat if vitamin D is lacking in the blood. Professor Carsten Geisler from the Department of International Health, Immunology and Microbiology, said: “When a T cell is exposed to a foreign pathogen, it extends a signalling device or ‘antenna’ known as a vitamin D receptor, with which it searches for vitamin D. This means that the T cell must have vitamin D or activation of the cell will cease. If the T cells cannot find enough vitamin D in the blood, they won’t even begin to mobilise. ” Song: Ship Wrek, Zookeepers & Trauzers - Vessel [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds.
