D-vitamin intake – how do I know the right supplement dose for me?
Vitamin D is an important health factor that we can influence ourselves. Due to our northern location, vitamin D deficiency is a common problem, especially during the dark months.
Vitamin D needs
The recommended vitamin D dose for adults is 10–20 µg (400–800 IU) per day. The elderly and risk groups may need more. The best way to know your vitamin D level is to have a blood test.
When to take it?
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, so it absorbs better with fat-containing food. It is recommended to take vitamin D with breakfast or lunch.
Can you overdose?
At recommended doses, vitamin D is safe. Overdosing is possible only with very large doses over a longer period. Follow the recommendations on the packaging.
In Estonia, where sunshine is limited, a vitamin D supplement is a sensible choice for almost everyone. Puhdas+ Vitamin D is a pure and quality choice for daily use.
