N2  - Already in 1922, based on the observation of 64  malnourished Viennese infants, Chick and colleagues  postulated a factor present in both cod-liver oil and sunlight  that is able to cure rickets (1). This factor later turned out  to be vitamin D. Today, it is evident that the actions of the  active vitamin D metabolite, i.e. 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3  (calcitriol), go far beyond bone health, including diverse  actions on the immune system as recently reviewed (2).
