Vitamin D

Aug 08, 2010 08:52


Been doing some reading to make sure I'm covered and found that the reccommended daily levels vary widely.

I do eat fine for dietary Vit D but have low sun exposure. A recent  Australian position (2010) seems to be an order of magnitude above ours here in UK, which has me confused.  Anyone?

Wiki - You need 200 IU

Sun limited individuals in Denmark need 600 - 1000 IU

Australia - normal people need 800-1000 IU
