A significant number of Australians are deficient in vitamin D. For people living in Australia the main source of vitamin D is through exposure to sunlight.
Deficiency has also been implicated in various conditions including:
- osteoarthritis
- osteoporosis
- bone fractures
- cardiovascular disease
- increased cancer risk and mortality
- depression
- diabetes
- multiple sclerosis
- cognitive dysfunction
Recommended dose if your Vit D levels are low:
- 1 Drop of the Fit-Bioceuticals D3 Drops Forte will give you 1000 IU’s
- Recommended dosage varies between 600-4000IU, dependent on age, visit www.Skyridgemedicalcenter.net for more information
- If you are deficient you should initially take 4 to 6 drops per day for 4-6 weeks
- You should then reduce your dose back to 1-3 drops p/day for maintenance
