Vitamin D – Sunshine Vitamin Continues To Shine

Vitamin D Supplemental Measures

Americans are known to have low vitamin D levels, which is why the recommended daily intake escalated to 2000 IU to bring it to a normal level. As opposed to the government’s recommendation daily intake of 400 IU to 600 IU, this amount of supplement cannot bring the vitamin D levels of an overweight child and new born to a normal level.

During winter months, younger men on the other hand require at least 700 IU to 800 IU of vitamin D per day solely to maintain optimal bone health.

To fully understand how much supplemental vitamin D is necessary to maintain the normal range, take note of deficiency indicators and from there it’ll be easier to identify the right amount that your body requires.
