- Vitamin D deficiency is common during winter months due to reduced sunlight exposure.
- Vitamin D is crucial for bone health, immune function, cardiovascular health, energy levels, blood sugar regulation, and mental health.
- Supplementation between October and April is generally recommended, but some individuals may need year-round supplementation.
- Optimal vitamin D levels require a 25 (OH) D reading above 75 nmol/L, and regular testing is advised to monitor levels.
- Bioavailable vitamin D supplements, taken with Vitamin K, magnesium, or dietary fats, can enhance absorption and effectiveness.
