Thinking that Vitamin D supplement was your immunity golden ticket? 🎫




Taking vitamin D supplements as part of your fitness routine? Thinking, bones will be strong, immunity will increase? But after many attempts, you are not getting any results? You are not alone! Recent research suggests a number of reasons why your vitamin D supplement may not be working properly. Let's find out the reasons.


1.Wrong food at wrong time:

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, meaning it dissolves in fat.If you take the supplement without fatty foods, the body cannot absorb it properly. In people who follow a low-fat diet or have problems absorbing fat (such as celiac disease), the effectiveness of vitamin D may be reduced.

Do:Take a vitamin D supplement with the main meal of the day, which contains healthy fats such as ghee, nuts, eggs or avocado.


2.Taking wrong dosage:

Many thinkHowever, taking any amount of vitamin D is enough. But the dosage may vary depending on your age, weight, and physical condition. While 600 to 800 IU per day is recommended for most adults, many may need up to 1000 to 2000 IU. It is almost impossible to determine the correct dosage without a blood test.


3.Your body may be resisting (vitamin D resistance):

somethingVitamin D cannot work properly in humans due to genetics, which is called "acquired vitamin D resistance". In addition, conditions such as obesity and type-2 diabetes can reduce the effectiveness of vitamin D and require higher doses than usual.


4.Choosing the wrong vitamin D:

There are two types of vitamin D supplements available on the market: vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3(Cholecalciferol). Studies have shown that vitamin D3 is more effective than D2 in increasing and maintaining blood levels of the vitamin. Some studies suggest that taking vitamin D2 can decrease the level of vitamin D3 in the body.


5.Effects of other drugs:

If you take cholesterol-lowering medications, steroids, or anticonvulsants, these may interfere with the absorption and metabolism of vitamin D.


6.Inadequate Sunlight:

vitaminsThe main source of D is sunlight. If you spend most of the day indoors or use sunscreen, your body may not be making enough vitamin D. Also, as you age, your skin's ability to make vitamin D decreases!


It was a powerful reminder that our bodies are incredible, complex systems. Sometimes, the smallest adjustments unlock the biggest changes.
