Description
While a dose of 800 IU per day is generally enough for maintaining adequate vitamin D serum levels, our long winters, short summers and reduced amount of sun exposure in Canada may lead us to need more. Different populations also require more: seniors produce one quarter the amount of vitamin D that they did in their twenties, people with darker skin tones on average produce half the amount as people with lighter skin tones, and those with certain chronic diseases may have more difficulty absorbing vitamin D.
