Get the D you need
Vitamin D play a very important role in maintaining bone health and preventing certain types of cancer..Depending on your age you should be getting upward of 600 IU per day from sun exposure.
There is more that one type of this essential nutrient
Vitamin D3 known as cholecalciferol is found in food,lanolin (the oil in sheep's wool), and fish-liver oil.It's also what your body produces when you stand outside on a sunny day.
Vitamin D2 ,or ergocalciferol ,is found in fungi that has been treated with ultaviolet light-a process that converts sterols into vitamin D. And it does matter which you take:
vitamin D2 was shown to be less than a third as potent as D3,according to a 2004 study published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and METABOLISM.
To get the most from you D supplement ,read the label very carefylly.Ideally,suplements should contain 200-600 IU of vitamin D3.Those who want nonanimal-based vitamin D2 should consider takink a higher dose to achieve the same effect. |
