Vitamin D3

Feature Summary

Vitamin D is well known for its role in building strong bones and teeth but new research, showing additional health benefits, has led the Canadian Cancer Society and the Canadian Dermatology Association to increase their recommendations for Canadian adults, under the age of 50, from 200 IU of Vitamin D to 1000 IU daily. Sun exposure on bare skin is the major source of vitamin D, but length of seasons, geographic latitude, cloud cover, smog, and sunscreens can reduce UV ray exposure and vitamin D synthesis. While maximizing Vitamin D benefits supplementation, combined with small amounts of sun exposure, is the recommended way to assure optimum levels of vitamin D.
