Vitamin D-3 2000 IU
There are several ways to get vitamin D3; one is through your skin‚ which can
produce it with exposure to specific amounts of ultraviolet light. It seems
easy to access vitamin D from sun rays‚ but like most individuals‚ you may be
deficient. Busy work schedules and hobbies that keep you indoors‚ the time of
year‚ or the region you live in can prevent you from getting the recommended 15
minutes of daily sun exposure. In addition‚ you may be worried about the
effects the sun can have on your skin’s appearance‚ as well as your overall
health.
Recognition of the role vitamin D plays in human growth and development has
helped scientists uncover deficiencies in people’s diets today. Symptoms of
early deficiencies are vague; you may experience fatigue‚ digestive problems‚
or dull aches. If the deficiency goes on for too long‚ it may lead to porous
bones‚ cardiovascular dysfunction‚ and a weakened immune system. A blood test
at your doctor’s office can determine if you have a vitamin D deficiency.
Researchers believe most people are low in vitamin D-3 due to a combination of
factors. It is believed that the global average of vitamin D3 derived from the
sun’s rays has declined dramatically (22 nanograms/deciliter) due to pollution‚
avoidance of the sun‚ use of sunscreens‚ and lower levels of vitamin D in our
food chain. Natural food sources of vitamin include fatty fish (salmon‚ cod‚
and sardines)‚ cheese‚ and eggs. Fortified cereals and beverages can also
provide it. Vitamin D3 also functions effectively in supplement form; however‚
synthetic pharmaceutical varieties (calcitriol) offer limited benefits for
shoring up vitamin D deficiencies.
