Should you supplement vitamin D? 💊
.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that can be stored in the body. The main source of vitamin D is sunlight, but vitamin D can also come from your diet from sources like oily fish, eggs, or enriched products like butter.
.
Vitamin D regulates the absorption of calcium, takes part in strengthening bones, but it also protects the brain by reducing inflammation. Low vitamin D levels can contribute to low mood and memory problems if not kept in check.
.
Our body can manufacture Vitamin D after exposure to ultraviolet rays from sunlight but that is not so easy if you:
✔️live in the high northern hemisphere especially during the winter months
✔️are older than 65
✔️have darker skin
✔️are obese
.
If you live in the Netherlands or another place where sunshine is limited to a short few months, you may have low Vitamin D levels.
.
As we move into the winter months, it’s recommended for most people to start to supplement with Vitamin D.
.
Vitamin D has many pleiotropic functions (such as anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects), so if you want to improve your BRIAN HEALTH you should keep an eye on the levels of vitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) in your bloodstream.💉 In case the blood results show that your levels are too low, you should start supplementing with Vitamin D.
