How much vitamin D does our body need?
When the skin is exposed to sufficient sunlight, this stimulates the body’s production of vitamin D. However, especially during the winter months, the intensity of sunlight may be too low to adequately support the production of vitamin D in the skin. In the summer, many people often spend time indoors or protect their skin from direct sunlight.2,3
Generally, only small amounts of vitamin D are obtained from food. It is found, for example, in egg yolks, liver, and fatty fish such as salmon.2,3
When might taking a vitamin D supplement be beneficial?
Studies show that vitamin D levels can vary among the general population and are not always optimal. In certain situations, it may therefore be advisable to take targeted vitamin D supplements.
The European Union (EU) specifies a Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) of 5 micrograms (µg) per day for vitamin D for both genders. This reference value serves as a guideline for the labeling of dietary supplements.1
In cases where the body’s own production of vitamin D is absent or limited, the German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends a daily intake of 20 μg of vitamin D for adult women and men. This corresponds to 800 International Units (IU).3
Note: The recommended intake applies to healthy adults. Individual vitamin D needs may vary. 2
