More Information
- It is estimated that a billion people have insufficient intakes or are deficient in Vitamin D.Research shows that even in sunny countries such as New Zealand and Australia up 50% of children and adults have insufficient or deficient levels of Vitamin D.In New Zealand few foods are fortified with Vitamin D, and given the high prevalence of insufficiency in this country, Vitamin D supplementation has been proposed as a strategy to improve Vitamin D status.
- Measuring serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D is considered the best way to assess Vitamin D status. Levels below 25 nmol/l are reflective of moderate to severe vitamin D deficiency. Levels between 25-50 nmol/l indicate a Vitamin D deficiency. Levels below 80 nmol/l show an insufficiency of vitamin D. According to the Vitamin D Council, the optimal serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D is 125-200 nmol/l. Vitamin D intoxication which is rare has been documented when serum levels exceed 374 nmol/l.
- Lifestyle Recommendations:
- Enjoy regular sunshine with skin exposed while being careful about the time spent in the sun. The hottest part of the day is between 11.00 am and 4.00 pm during the summer months, so exposure during these times should be well monitored to avoid sunburn.
- Include a diet high in fatty fish to improve vitamin D3status.
- Include eggs, dairy, meat, yoghurt or alternatively natto as part of your diet to improve vitamin K status.
