Deva Vegan Vitamin D - 800 IU - 90 Tablets

Deva Vegan Vitamin D Description: 800 IU D2 Doctors have recently found that the majority of those who live in cool climates -whether omnivore, vegetarian or vegan- are vitamin D deficient. All this is in spite of the fact that some fish contain vitamin D and milk, cheese and ice cream are fortified with Vitamin D for those who follow an omnivore or vegetarian diet. People who do not get adequate sun exposure or Vitamin D fortified foods are at the risk of developing Vitamin D deficiency unless they supplement.* Vitamin D deficiency classically causes rickets and osteomalacia (thin bones) and is more common in children who are vitamin D deficient. Prolonged breastfeeding is a cause of rickets in some children who don t get enough vitamin D in their breast milk. Excessive use of sunscreens can cause vitamin D deficiency. In adults, vitamin D deficiency can cause bone weakness and boney pain.Those who are especially encouraged to supplement with vegan vitamin D include those greater than age 50 that are at increased risk of developing vitamin D deficiency. People with dark skin don t get enough Vitamin D in their system. Those who are obese and have a BMI greater than 30 often are vitamin D deficient and should supplement with vitamin D The recommended dose is 800 IU per day, although doses up to 3000 mg/day have been taken by some individuals with known deficiency.* DEVA Vitamin D is 100% animal free, and guaranteed for purity, freshness and labeled potency.
