Latest research has found that more than 80% of north americans have insufficient Vitamin D.
Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. If you do not have enough you are at risk for osteoporosis and weak bones.
Low levels can also make you feel tired - fatigue.
We are now testing for levels through a blood test when you have your anual physical examination. The recommended dose for insufficiency is:
Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) 5,000 IU daily
