What to know
Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. One capsule is above the adult upper level in the Australian and New Zealand Nutrient Reference Values, and most everyday products in Australia are 1,000 IU. Vitamin D is fat soluble and builds up, so this strength makes the most sense when a blood test has shown you are low and your doctor has recommended it.
Who should check first
- Everyone, ideally: get a blood test and your doctor's advice first.
- Kidney disease, kidney stones, high calcium levels or sarcoidosis: do not use without your doctor's advice.
- Already taking vitamin D: add up all sources.
- Pregnant, breastfeeding or under 18: use a dose recommended by your doctor.
