How do I know if I need to supplement with vitamin D?

Researchers have found a significant role for vitamin D in the immune system. Vitamin D helps regulate your body’s immune response and supports healthy immune cell function. It is important to first consult with your healthcare professional about which vitamin D product is right for you.†

Where does vitamin D come from?

Sunlight provides the main source of our vitamin D requirements. Few foods naturally contain vitamin D, but those that do include certain fatty fish (such as salmon, mackerel and sardines), fish liver oils and egg yolks.

How much Vitamin D should I take per day?

The Endocrine Society recommends dosages for adults ranging from 1500 to 2000 IUs per day to maintain Vitamin D levels, although dosages up to 10000 IUs may be needed to correct a Vitamin D deficiency.◆[3]
