Additional contributions schemes vitamin D ranging from processing deficits (high inputs for a short time) to prophylaxis (minimum doses for long periods to ensure coverage of daily necessities not suffer deficiencies). These dosage regimens are varied and, together with the various presentations of products with vitamin D, make the dosage, at least initially, difficult to identify for each patient.

Severe deficiency of vitamin D (DVD) is associated with rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, but now these situations are exceptional; however, vitamin D deficiency found through laboratory studies or subclinical vitamin D deficiency are common disorders. In the elderly, the DVD also increases the risk of falls and fractures, and possibly compromise your cardiovascular health and immune function. Foods rich in vitamin D are scarce. The main source of vitamin D is ultraviolet (UVB) in a specific wavelength range (290 nm to 315 nm). Such exposure to sunlight, which induces the synthesis of vitamin D, is low in much of the population, at least 6 months a year. Therefore, and especially during the winter months, the contribution of supplements is very beneficial.

It is difficult to estimate what the proper sun exposure and, in fact, there are no recommendations well balanced in terms of sunscreen to not significantly increase the risk of developing cancer due to UV light and, simultaneously, to ensure the necessary vitamin D synthesis through the skin. Due to the low rate of adverse effects of vitamin D supplementation at recommended doses, supplementation seems appropriate in those who can not ensure sufficient synthesis.
