Researchers Are Discovering How Vitamin D3 Can Improve Your Health And Wellness

By Javier Mcnear


The way vitamin D3 works to promote a state of overall good health is complicated. All the average person needs to understand is that it is the only nutrient the human body can manufacture using the UVB rays of sunlight. Due to the worry about skin cancer people are blocking it by using sunscreen. As a result, millions of people are experiencing a need to take a Vitamin D3 Supplement.

It makes a valid contribution to bone building and life sustaining bone health. Another contribution it makes is preventing fractures, especially in the elderly population. As people grow older there may be a reduction in bone density that presents a danger of fracture.

It has always been surmised that the lack of sunlight exposure in winter causes depression. Now lack of this is also linked to cancer, insulin resistance and macular degeneration. It is therefore, important to determine whether you are deficient in this nutrient.

A lack of sufficient amounts of this nutrient can be found even in those who do get enough time in the sun. This is because as people age they need more to maintain the adequate amount in their blood. The aging population should take note because currently, the dose recommended by the government is severely low.

The results of scientific research indicate the need for higher amounts to be recommended by the government. At minimum a thousand IU should be required. The current recommendations are inadequate. The elderly should take double the recommended dosage.

Taking sufficient amounts of this supplement is crucial to good health. The elderly people are at risk when not getting enough of this nutrient. The morbidity rate due to lower amounts can be reduced. Researchers report that two-thousand IU each day is not above the upper limit. It is considered a safe amount of Vitamin D3 to take each day.
