Not so long ago vitamin D attracted very little attention as a supplement but recent research has shown it is much more important than we thought. Vitamin D deficiency is associated not only with weak bones but also with hypertension, diabetes, depression, obesity and some cancers and autoimmune diseases.
The New Zealand diet generally, does not contain enough vitamin D but we used to think that was OK because the vitamin can be made in the skin with exposure to sunlight. So it comes as a surprise to discover that sunny, outdoor-loving New Zealand has very high rates of vitamin D deficiency.
It seems we have taken the warnings about UV radiation to heart and are avoiding the sun and slip, slop, slapping so thoroughly we are running low on life-saving D. There is also a suggestion that the large numbers of lotions and potions we are so fond of applying to our skins these days may prevent vitamin D synthesis. Finally, those of us over 50 don't make or process D as well as we did.
All this adds up to an argument in favour of a supplementary source. Just 4 drops of Now Foods Liquid D3 provides the minimum recommended 400 International Units a day and one bottle contains 525 doses! Even on a more generous allowance of 1000IUs a day, one bottle provides 210 doses. That's 7 months supply for just $20.60
