Vitamin D Guidelines

Vitamin D guidelines recommend that most adults aim for 600 to 800 IU (15-20 micrograms) daily to support bone health and immune function. Sun exposure helps your body produce vitamin D naturally, but factors like skin type, age, and weather can affect this. Foods like fatty fish, fortified dairy, and eggs provide vitamin D as well. Some people at higher risk of deficiency, such as older adults or those with limited sun exposure, may need supplements. It's best to consult with a healthcare provider to determine your specific needs and avoid excessive intake, which can be harmful.
