European recommended daily allowance of vitamin D<\/h1>\n

\"BloodvaluesAs of 2014 the European recommended daily allowance of vitamin D is 5 micrograms (\u00b5g) \u2013 five-millionth of a gram. The European authorities believe that this amount of vitamin D will prevent illnesses arising from a deficiency of vitamin D, something completely different to obtaining optimal health and preventing slowly developing diseases.<\/p>\n

Orthomolecular medicine: a branch of medicine that focuses on optimal quantities<\/h2>\n

Orthomolecular doctors recommend the following dosages of vit. D:<\/p>\n

50 \u03bcg (2000 IE) for adults
\n10 \u03bcg (400 IE) for newly-born children
\n25 \u03bcg (1000 IE) from the age of 1 \u2013 children \u2013 adults
\n75 \u03bcg (3000 IE) for dark skinned and overweight people
\n100 \u03bcg (4000 IE) for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, the elderly and intensive sportspeople and labourers<\/p>\n

Known diseases arising from vitamin deficiencies include:<\/h2>\n

Vit.C: scurvy; vit. B1: beriberi; vit. B3: pellagra; and vit. D: rickets in children (skeletal deformity) and osteomalacia (bone softening) in adults, as well as spinal deformity. Other issues associated with vit. D deficiency are muscular weakness, bone pain, skeletal deformity, irregular teeth, asthma and type 1 diabetes.<\/p>\n

How much vit. D in blood levels?<\/h2>\n

Vit. D in your blood is expressed as 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH) D)
\nOrthomolecular serum value for:
\nDeficient = less than 25 nmol\/l
\nInsufficient = 25-50
\nGood = 50 \u2013 75
\nTarget = 80<\/strong>
\nTherapeutic = 80 – 125
\nProbably toxic: in excess of 250<\/p>\n

Guideline for increasing the serum value of vit. D:<\/h2>\n

Daily supplement of D2 (or D3) of 1 ug (40IE) = increase of serum 25(oh)D by 1 nmol\/l.<\/p>\n<\/div>
