news Unlike other essential vitamins, vitamin D is virtually absent from foods, with the exception of fatty fish and eggs. Our body must produce most of the necessary vitamin D itself when our skin is exposed to the sun. Exposure to the sun therefore seems to be a very important factor in having enough vitamin D. The proof? In Belgium, the majority of the population suffers from a vitamin D deficiency, due to the northern location of our country. But a recent study looked at the average vitamin D level in several European countries and the results were quite unexpected. Vitamin D deficiency is very pronounced in sunny countries like Italy, Spain or Portugal (similar or even worse than in Belgium) while Norway, Finland and Sweden have normal vitamin D levels. !
THE EXPLANATION OF THIS PARADOX
In sunny countries, people protect themselves from the sun, but this (necessary) protection prevents the natural production of vitamin D. And since there is a lot of sun, no one thinks that vitamin D deficiency might be possible. In the Scandinavian countries, on the other hand, the authorities and the population are very aware of the problem of vitamin D deficiency. Everyone, regardless of age, takes vitamin D throughout the year through the through fortified foods or dietary supplements.
WHO SHOULD TAKE A VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENT?
To avoid vitamin D deficiency, it is advisable to follow the recommendations of the Higher Health Council: taking a supplement is recommended for everyone from birth, throughout the year, because vitamin D contributes to maintenance of normal bones and teeth as well as normal functioning of muscles and the immune system.
However, it is important to choose the dosage of vitamin D based on your specific needs. Insufficient vitamin D intake is not good, but excessive intake is undesirable.
VISTA-D3, UNDER THE LANGUAGE, IT’S Clever
Choosing a vitamin D supplement is important. Both the form, the frequency of intake and the dosage are important.
VISTA-D3 offers you a very particular form of administration: a small melting tablet specially designed to melt quickly under the tongue.
The tablet should be placed under the tongue. This area of the mouth is particularly rich in very fine blood vessels which immediately absorb vitamin D into the blood circulation, without detouring through the stomach and intestinal tract.
Absorption is therefore faster, more complete and independent of digestion.
The absorption of vitamin D is therefore excellent, even in people suffering from gastrointestinal problems or following gastric reduction due to obesity.
It is an important asset for good absorption of vitamin D, especially in older people, because with age the gastrointestinal wall atrophies, reducing the absorption capacity of nutrients.
In addition, this method of administration is not restrictive and avoids swallowing problems. The taste of VISTA-D3 is fresh and pleasant.
VISTA-D3 EVERY DAY
Several studies have shown that taking a daily physiological dose of 400 to 3000 units is the most relevant method, because it ensures a regular supply of vitamin D to the body. Intermittent taking of very high bolus doses is no longer recommended by international experts.
VISTA-D3 FOR ALL AGES
VISTA-D3 exists in a unique range of 6 different dosages, from 400 iu to 3,000 iu, adapted to each need.
Taking VISTA-D is very simple. Simply melt one tablet under your tongue each day. For babies, the tablet can be put directly into the bottle and children can suck the tablet (much easier than counting drops!). The tablet has a neutral taste and does not contain lactose, gluten, sugar, synthetic sweeteners or colors. VISTA-D3 can be purchased in pharmacies and online pharmacies.
Dosage guide:
Vitamin D requirements depend on age.
To avoid vitamin D deficiency in healthy people, the following daily doses are recommended:
*Children from birth: 400 international units (ie) per day = VISTA-D3 400
*Adolescents and young adults: 600 international units per day = VISTA-D3 600
*Pregnant women and people aged over 60: 800 international units per day = VISTA-D3 800
* People aged over 70: 1,000 ie per day = VISTA-D3 1,000
In certain circumstances, requirements may be higher.
Who needs a higher dose?
*People with darker skin need more vitamin D because their skin filters the sun’s rays more effectively and therefore can produce less vitamin D. For example, children need VISTA-600 and adults need VISTA -D3 800.
*People who do not go out often, are being treated with statins (high cholesterol medications), or are overweight will need VISTA-D3 1000.
*In case of deficiency or absence of previous supplementation, Vista-D3 2000 is recommended.
*In cases of pronounced deficiency or malabsorption problem, Vista-D3 3000 can be used to increase vitamin D levels as much as possible.
*The maximum dose for children is 2,000 iu and for adults 3,000 iu unless advised by a doctor.
