Supplementation with vitamin D has been known for years to improve the calcium homeostasis and bone mineral metabolism in the body, which is rather beneficial for bone health. However, later research had discovered that vitamin D has additional benefits such as:- Strengthening of immune system.
- Preventing cancer.
- Regulation of blood pressure.
- Autoimmune disease management, preventing such diseases as osteoporosis and diabetes.
A good daily dose of vitamin D is 10,000iu. This can come from supplementation, food and sun (as we automatically produce 10,000iu of vitamin D if the whole body is exposed to UV light). Foods that are rich in vitamin D are fish, dairy and grains. Therefore, I suggest taking 5,000-7,000iu of vitamin as a supplement (partially from your multivitamin and partially from the separate vitamin D supplement) and get the rest from your diet and being in the sun.
