Prairie Naturals Vitamin D3 2,500iu (Organic Olive Oil Base) - 90 Softgels

2500IU VITAMIN D BENEFITS

Vitamin D is one of the most widely used and recommended supplements worldwide, and with good reason. Indeed, statistics tell us that the majority of the population, between 40 percent and 80 percent or more of adults, is reportedly deficient in Vitamin D and would benefit from supplementation to treat and/or prevent Vitamin D deficiency symptoms. Since deficiency is on the rise, many could benefit from a high dose supplement like 2500iu of vitamin d.

Up until very recently, over-the-counter sales of vitamin D (meaning vitamin D supplements) could not exceed a dose of 1,000 IU in Canada. Though doses far in excess of this are routinely recommended by physicians to treat a variety of conditions such as osteoporosis, fractures, impaired immune function, depression, and multiple sclerosis. However, in light of all of the latest research on the prevalence of low vitamin D status in Canada and the implications involved, Health Canada amended the upper allowable limit for vitamin D supplements on February 24th, 2021. As such, Canadians now have over-the-counter access to ultra-strength vitamin D supplements supplying 2500IU of vitamin D without requiring a doctor’s recommendation.

Who Needs Vitamin D 2,500 IU?

It’s next to impossible to get enough vitamin D through diet alone in Canada. In fact, Statistics Canada tells us that when blood levels of vitamin D were tested, it was observed that about 40% of Canadians in winter and 25% in summer were below the level required for healthy bones. This only concerns bone health and does not take into account healthy immune function, heart and brain health, or healthy mood balance (i.e. we’re just seeing the tip of the iceberg). As such, it’s safe to say that the majority of people across age groups could benefit from a quality vitamin D supplement daily. Anyone with diagnosed osteoporosis, low immune function, someone convalescing, who has sustained a fracture, has had gastric bypass surgery, is obese, has liver or kidney disease, or is suffering from Crohn’s or celiac disease may benefit from a high dose of 2500iu vitamin D.

Getting The Most Out Of Your High Potency Vitamin D

Screening for vitamin D status is more and more common not only in natural health care practices but also in conventional medical circles. If you suspect you may be deficient in vitamin D or have symptoms of osteoporosis, immune dysfunction, or low immunity, speak to your health care provider about getting tested.

To get the most out of your vitamin D supplement, make sure to take it with a meal that contains some fat. Because vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, it does not dissolve in water and is best absorbed when paired with high-fat foods. Nuts, seeds, avocados, dairy products, and eggs are all great sources of fat that can help you get the most out of your vitamin D supplement.
