🌤️ Keep your bones and muscles strong this winter! 🌿
As the colder months roll in, many of us in the UK turn to vitamin D supplements to fill the sunshine gap. But did you know there’s a key detail to watch out for on those supplement labels? Nutrition pro Kristen Stavridis has shared some essential tips on her popular TikTok account to keep you informed and healthier!
🔍 When you’re shopping for vitamin D, make sure you’re getting the D3 variety. It’s more effective at raising vitamin levels in your blood. Some supplements also include vitamin K, which helps with absorption – a combo worth considering!
⚖️ Dosage is crucial: aim for the recommended 10 micrograms (or 400 IU) daily and don’t exceed 100 micrograms (4,000 IU). Taking too much can actually harm your bones and organs over time.
🍽️ Pro tip: maximise vitamin D absorption by pairing your supplement with healthy fats. Think avocado on toast or protein oats with almond butter.
The NHS recommends this routine, especially from October to March, to keep those bones, teeth, and muscles in top shape. Remember, it’s not just about any vitamin D – getting the right type and amount is key!
