Vitamin D – Your Health and Teeth

“Almost all of us are deficient in Vitamin D” – that line really jumped out at me while reading a book called “The Vitamin D Cure”.

Almost all our Vitamin D comes from exposure to the sun for 20 minutes or more without sunscreen and very little from our diet.

So by April, after the winter months, our supplies are quite depleted and we need Vitamin D supplements.

I am 13 stone and need 4 tablets of 25ug dosage per day as dosage relates to weight even though on the package it will say one per day.

The good news is that it is very difficult to overdose on Vitamin D but it should be taken on its own and not with other vitamins.

From a dental point of view, Vitamin D is essential in the formation of healthy teeth and the bone to support them.

The book is called “The Vitmain D Cure” by Dr James E Dowd and it is well worth reading to decide what dose of supplement is ideal for you.
