Who needs a vitamin D supplement?
Vitamin D is crucial for the body as it aids in the absorption of calcium, which is vital for bone health. The primary source for Vitamin D is sunlight. However, you may need a Vitamin D supplement if:
- You're not receiving enough sunlight, this can be due to geographical location or lifestyle choices that limit your exposure to sunlight.
- You are of older age. As we get older, our bodies don't produce as much Vitamin D in response to sunlight.
- You have a darker skin tone. Melanin, which gives skin its colour, lowers the skin's capacity to make Vitamin D in response to sunlight exposure.
- You have certain medical conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, celiac, or liver or kidney diseases that affect your body's ability to absorb Vitamin D. You are significantly overweight or obese. Vitamin D gets trapped in fatty tissues, reducing its circulation in the bloodstream.
Can I just get my daily dose of Vitamin D from sunlight?
While our bodies can produce Vitamin D naturally when directly exposed to sunlight, factors like the time of year, geographical location, and the pigment of your skin can affect how much Vitamin D your body can produce. Supplementing with Vitamin D helps ensure you’re getting consistent levels year-round.
Can I overdose on Vitamin D supplements?
While it's rare, it's possible to get too much Vitamin D if you take excessive amounts of a supplement over a long period of time. Known as Vitamin D toxicity or Hypervitaminosis, it can lead to hypercalcemia, causing symptoms such as nausea, poor appetite, kidney problems, and in extreme cases, heart abnormalities. Always follow recommended dosages or guidance from your healthcare provider.
