Vitamin D is a great
addition to your cold and flu prevention plan. Evidence to date confirms Vitamin
D’s ability to stimulate the immune system.
It is a unique vitamin that
can be synthesized by the body after exposure to sunlight and helps the body
use calcium to maintain strong bones and teeth. Supplementing during Fall and
Winter is a great way to keep healthy Vitamin D levels. Natural sources of
vitamin D are found in fatty fish,egg yolks and organic milk.
Vitamin D deficiency can
cause rickets in children and osteomalacia or osteoporosis in adults. Doses
recommended by Health Canada range between 400 IU and 4000 IU depending on age
and nutritional status. It is important to check with your doctor about the
right amounts for you.
