Health Bulletin
If you remembered to turn back your clock, you noticed the abrupt change to darkness by five o’clock in the afternoon. This means different things to different people: some may be excited to see snow again and others may dread the colder weather and shorter days. As Canadians, we are linked together with a propensity to have lower vitamin D levels during this time of year. If you are not already doing so, supplementing your diet with a vitamin D supplement is an important step in helping your body to prevent certain health conditions. Examples are as follows:
• Hormonal disregulation
• Tissue inflammation
• Cardiovascular disease
• Colon cancer
• Poor health of bones, nails and hair
Each individual has a unique need and ability to utilize nutrients. Patients are advised that a basic level of Vitamin D supplementation is 1000 international units per day. Some patients may require more on a daily basis and individual assessment is critical to determine whether higher dose Vitamin D therapy may facilitate improved health.
Look for supplements that have Vitamin D3. This is the most bioavailable form of vitamin D.
