Vitamin D3
This 50 mcg of vitamin D is equivalent to 2000 iu so is a good dose for maintenance of healthy bones. Vitamin D3 is the active form of vitamin D. It is a hormone-like substance that is essential for getting calcium into your bones. Vitamin D makes the calcium you do eat work better. Vitamin D also helps protect against arthritis, bowel problems and over 13 different types of cancer. Most Irish people are low in vitamin D. As a nutritionist it’s probably the test I most often ask people to get their GP to check. If a blood test shows you are low in vitamin D you will need a short programme of high vitamin D to get your levels up before going on a maintenance dose of 50mcg/2000iu. It is not possible to eat enough vitamin D in your diet for health but if you eat lots of oily fish you can get one fifth of what you need. To get adequate vitamin D you either need to get about 15 minutes of bright sunshine most days on your face/arms or else take a supplement. Vitamin D dramatically reduces falls in elderly people. Smoking or being low in vitamin A can affect your ability to utilise vitamin D.
