I'm A Doctor. Here's Why I STILL Take VITAMIN D In Summer

The Myth of Summer Sunshine00:00:00

Contrary to common belief, recent research from Newcastle University involving over 300 people shows that many individuals maintain low vitamin D levels even after a full summer, invalidating the idea that sunlight exposure is always enough.

Why Vitamin D Matters00:00:44

Vitamin D is essential beyond bone health; it plays a critical role in immune function, muscle strength, brain health, metabolism, and mood. Deficiency is associated with risks such as osteoporosis and frailty.

Clinical Recommendations00:01:21

It is advised to consult a doctor and test blood levels regularly rather than assuming they rise in summer. Supplementing with D3 alongside Vitamin K2 is recommended to maximize effectiveness, maintaining a minimum level of 30 ng/mL.
