When is Vitamin D recommended?
It is recommended by the UK Department of Health that everyone from birth should take a supplement of Vitamin D to ensure we maintain correct levels in our body. One of the main factors that requires us to ensure we gain the right amount of Vitamin D is the lack of exposure to the sun. This results in our body not being able to produce natural Vitamin D. There are a number of reasons why Vitamin D supplementation is required including:
- Increased requirement at certain life stages e.g. the elderly population, whose skin may not be able to synthesise vitamin D as effectively.
- Reduced sun exposure in some groups of the population e.g. older people, those wearing certain religious clothing, certain occupations, medical reasons and those with darker skin tones (as greater skin melanin content can reduce the skin's production of vitamin D).
- Those with increased dietary intolerances (e.g. lactose and dairy) or allergies.
- People who are on a diet.

At 5000IU Vitamin D, this is ideal for Vitamin D deficient individuals in which a high dose is recommended until Vitamin D levels are normalised. Once Vitamin D levels are normalised, the Vitamin D strength can be reduced to a maintenance dose.
Difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules is fairly common – do you have any advice?
It is recommended that plenty of liquid be used to swallow tablets. Alternatively, thicker liquids such as smoothies and yoghurt can help the process of swallowing also.
Some Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) levels are above 100%, is this safe?
These values are a main indicator of the daily amount of vitamin and mineral that the average healthy person requires to prevent deficiency. Levels above 100% are not a cause of concern for certain vitamins and minerals and can continue to be of benefit to our health. Other vitamins and mineral have to be more closely monitored on these fronts due to their varying impact.
