Take a vitamin D3 cure: for whom?
A vitamin D3 cure is recommended if you live in an area with little sun or if you often stay indoors. Likewise, people meeting one of the following criteria must undergo a cure.
- Children who drink milk not fortified with vitamin D.
- Vegans, vegetarians and vegans.
- People with a diet insufficient in vitamin D3 and an almost nonexistent outdoor activity.
- The elderly: the older we get, the more we produce less vitamin D3. Also, we do fewer outdoor activities.
- Pregnant women.
- Premenopausal and postmenopausal women.
- People who have recurrent respiratory infections or have osteoporosis.
- Young girls aged 10 to 18 to avoid the increased risk of fractures after menopause.
Why use vitamin D3?
In principle, the sun should be sufficient for our vitamin D needs… Well, that’s the theory if you live further south than Corsica, spend time outdoors and have fair skin. Because in reality when you live in France, the winter sun is often too low to let through the good rays allowing the production of vitamin D.
If you live in France and go out often, the shortage is minor, but if you live further north, in regions where the sunshine is much shorter, if you work the night or that you are always indoors at lunchtime, the deficit is much greater.
Vitamin D deficiency has different effects on different people. It causes fractures, bone pain, cramps, muscle weakness, fatigue, and depression.
We can summarize as follows: we all need vitamin D, but our intakes vary depending on where we live and the number of hours we spend outdoors (in the middle of the day).
It is quite possible to get some vitamin D through the diet, but not enough to meet all your needs. Supplementing yourself with vitamin D3 during the shortest days is therefore the best way to take care of your health and meet all the body’s needs.
Some people need additional intake of vitamin D. It is not always possible to compensate for its deficiency only with food and sun exposure. In this case, drugs and dietary supplements from pharmacies may be useful. To help you find good products, we’ve recommended the best vitamin D supplements on the market right now.
