The food supplement of vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system, intervenes in the cell division process, collaborates in the normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and promotes the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. Vitamin D is found in very few foods, cod liver oil being the richest, otherwise this vitamin is synthesized by our body with the liver through exposure to sunlight. If we do not produce enough vitamin D, we could have problems with the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, closely related to this vitamin, and our immune system could also suffer.
The vitamin D supplement in drops, available on Terza Luna, contains the following ingredients:
The composition of our vitamin D drops supplement is gluten-free and lactose-free, and is therefore suitable for vegans who intend to supplement their lack of vitamin D in the body.
There are several properties and benefits resulting from a proper intake of vitamin D. First of all, vitamin D plays a central role in the immune system through the production of antimicrobial peptides, particularly cathelicidin. Furthermore, it seems to have an important role in the respiratory tract, skin, and potentially in intestinal health. Several studies have shown how a number of autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis, type I diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis, are associated with vitamin D deficiency. It could therefore play an important role in the prevention and possible treatment of these conditions. In one of the many studies conducted during the pandemic, we report one that analyzes the relationship between Vitamin D and respiratory infectious diseases such as COVID-19. It is a meta-analysis conducted on 23 studies involving approximately 11,000 participants, from which it emerged that in the study participants affected by COVID-19, a deficiency of Vitamin D was found. The conclusions of the study state that people with a deficiency of this vitamin have 3 to 5 times greater chances of contracting the virus.
The deficiency of vitamin D occurs mainly in the winter months, where there is little exposure to sunlight due to environmental conditions and the tendency to spend less time outdoors. In addition to this, factors that decrease the presence of the vitamin are obesity, advanced age, and darker skin.
If you are unable to get the right amount of vitamin D, to avoid the consequences of its deficiency, it is often recommended to take vitamin D in drops. For most supplements, it is preferable to take them in the morning and close to meals. The recommended doses of vitamin D drops to be taken vary depending on various factors including age.
Generally, for adults, the recommended daily dosage is a maximum of 20 drops equal to 2000 units. Here too, taking the supplement is recommended close to meals. Instead, for the elderly, who have a greater need for vitamin D and greater difficulty in intake, a slightly higher quantity is generally recommended. For greater safety, we recommend consulting your doctor for correct intake.
Vitamin D is very important for the development of children's skeletons, but not only. For a balanced growth, an adequate intake of vitamin D will be very important. However, the tendency to spend little time outdoors and the preference for indoor activities and hobbies lead to a deficiency that will need to be remedied by taking vitamin D drops supplements. The recommended daily dosage for children is about 1000 units, equal to 10 drops. In any case, it is advisable to consult your pediatrician to determine the right dose for your child.
An overdose of vitamin D can be harmful to health, although it depends on the actual amount of excess. It generally occurs due to excessive use of supplements, and prolonged excess could cause the development of specific hypervitaminosis and the consequent intoxication with effects such as:
In case of overdose, in most cases, a change in diet is not necessary, but simply discontinuing the intake of supplements is enough.
As mentioned earlier, taking vitamin D in drops should not lead to particular side effects or contraindications. However, excessive and prolonged overdosing could cause specific hypervitaminosis and the consequent intoxication.
In children, attention should be greater due to the possible consequences exacerbated by the developmental stage they are in. Therefore, we recommend moderate use under the advice and supervision of a trusted pediatrician.
