WHAT CAN VITAMIN D TELL YOU ABOUT?
💡Only 41% of Ukrainians have normal levels of vitamin D. This is due to the fact that 80-100% of vitamin D is synthesized by our skin under the influence of sunlight and only a small amount of it enters the body with food.
☀️ In conditions of insufficient exposure to the sun or low lighting, even the richest diet will not be able to fully meet the need for vitamin D.
📍Vitamin D deficiency is dangerous due to impaired calcium-phosphorus metabolism and the risk of developing
rickets in children, and osteoporosis in adults.
❗️Factors that influence the synthesis of vitamin D in the skin:
🔹 Small number of sunny days – from October to March;
🔹 Intense skin pigmentation;
🔹 Advanced age;
🔹 Prolonged stay indoors;
🔹 Comorbidities.
❗️ Medi Lab+ medical laboratory recommends testing 25OH Vitamin D total (D2+D3) for
determination of vitamin D levels in the body.
👉 The therapeutic or prophylactic dose of vitamin D should be determined individually to prevent side effects. Your doctor will select the correct vitamin D regimen, depending on your vitamin level, age, body weight, time spent in the sun, and will also take into account concomitant diseases and medications you are taking.
