Vitamin D & Cholesterol

To clearly understand the relationship between vitamin D and Cholesterol, we need to justify what cholesterol is and what are its types.
Cholesterol is formed in our bodies from the liver and we can also get it from food resources. Your body needs a cholesterol substance to form vitamins and hormones, but high levels of it may cause health problems. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, high cholesterol level is one the most common cases around the world. There are two types of cholesterol:

1- LDL Cholesterol, which is considered bad for your body’s health as it increases the incidence of heart diseases.
2- HDL cholesterol, which is considered good for your body’s health.

Is there any link between vitamin D and Cholesterol?

Vitamin D is linked to cholesterol, as cholesterol in our skin cells helps in vitamin D formation from sunlight. In addition, some studies have shown that vitamin D supplementation improves all types of bad cholesterol including LDL and Triglycerides. Also, research has proved that combining calcium and vitamin D improves cholesterol levels in overweight, obese, or postmenopausal women.
