In the latitudes where we live, it is often difficult for our bodies to produce enough vitamin D from October to April. This causes our vitamin D stores to be depleted. The effects can be seen in fatigue, frequent colds, exhaustion, and a variety of other symptoms because vitamin D is essential in many cells. Even leg cramps at night can indicate a vitamin D deficiency.
Another problem is that recommendations regarding vitamin D intake are inconsistent. The dose currently considered “adequate” is relatively low at 30 to less than 50 nmol/L (12 to less than 20 nmol/mL). However, experts recommend a target value of 50 ng/ml, which most people in our latitudes do not reach at this time of year (March).
Even if very high values are usually not easy to achieve, one must keep in mind that toxic reactions can also occur at a value of around 150 ng/ml. While small doses (experts have repeatedly given me 4,000 IU per day as a dose) can be taken relatively safely according to the “watering jug principle”, it is advisable, especially for large quantities, to consult a specialist and check with a specialist laboratory. Valuable.
Of course there are many important micronutrients, and a healthy diet is also very important for your body. However, changing your diet is often much more difficult than taking a few drops of vitamin D every day, and the success I've already seen with this is remarkable. Taking vitamin D does not exclude a healthy diet. 😉
With this in mind, I wish you all the best and a beautiful spring filled with lots of strength and energy.
