Imagine my surprise when I found out I was deficient in Vitamin D. I take quite a few natural supplements and try to eat healthy.
During a recent visit to my doctor he decided to do a check on my Vitamin D level. He said that they were finding that a vast majority of people living in Pennsylvania were deficient due to more clouds than sunshine.
Sure enough…when the results came back my level was low..not terribly but the reference range was 32.0 to 100.0 and mine was 22.8. He prescribed me 1 capsule of Vitamin D 50,000 units per week for 8 weeks and now on a maintenance dose of 1.000 units per day.
I learned that although the recommendation is 400 to 800 IU per day that some doctors suggest between 2,000 to 4,000 a day and some naturopaths suggest you can take 5,000 IU per day to maintain optimal levels.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is essential for many of your body’s functions, including normal bone growth and overall health. Vitamin D3, or Cholecalciferol is the preferred form of the nutrient. It is the form that is found naturally in animal food sources and as a result of your skin’s exposure to the sunlight. In addition to being a very important part of supporting calcium absorption, Vitamin D may support many other areas of your health including cardiovascular, cognitive, neurological, blood sugar, breast, colon, thyroid, joint to name a few.
While Vitamin D may be obtained through healthy food choices and is manufactured by your body when exposed to the sun, many people, including the elderly, vegetarians and those living in colder, cloudy climates may require additional supplementation. I have learned that to get a sufficient amount of sun daily a person would need to lay out in the sun in the nude daily for a half hour ….uhhh not happening here. LOL.
I wanted to share this with you as you may want to consider having your Vitamin D level checked at your next doctor visit. As we all know that most vegetation grown these days is just not as packed with the nutrients that they once were years ago so it makes it necessary to take additional supplements.
I am not suggesting that you run out and buy a huge bottle of Vitamin D and take mega doses. I wanted to pass this info along to make you aware so you can check into it..do some research and make an informed decision regarding your health.
