There are a number of reasons why vitamin D supplementation is now
advocated
These include:
-
Government health advice to reduce sun exposure which can mean
less vitamin D is produced naturally by the body.
-
Reduced sun exposure in certain groups of the population e.g.
older people, for religious reasons/clothing, certain
occupations, medical reasons, those with dark skin (as greater
skin melanin content can reduce the skin’s ability to produce
vitamin D).
-
Increased requirement at certain life stages e.g. the elderly
population - whose skin may not be able to synthesize vitamin D
effectively.
-
Those with increased dietary intolerances (e.g. lactose and
dairy), allergens.
-
People who are on a diet.
