Vitamin D Deficiency Video

An estimated 65-95% of Americans are vitamin D deficient.

Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to osteoporosis, type I diabetes, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune disorders, various types of cancer, cardiovascular disease, poor muscle strength and depression.

Safe sun exposure is the fastest way to replenish your vitamin D on a regular basis. In order to get enough vitamin D from exposure to the sun, you need to be out in the sun for an estimated 15-30 minutes without sunscreen three times per week. If your skin is darker toned, this estimate may need to be increased, check with your dermatologist to determine safe exposure times.

During the winter months, or seasons when the sun isn't available, you may want to consider taking a vitamin D supplement. Check with your health care provider or nutritionist to determine how much is right for you. Current recommendations run between 1000 and 2000 units per day.
