- The UK government recommends 400 IU (10 micrograms) of vitamin D daily in autumn and winter; people at high risk of deficiency, children aged 1 to 4 and infants should consider it year-round unless infants consume more than 500ml of formula daily.
- Online, 400 vitamin D tablets were available for less than Ā£8, equivalent to under 2 pence per day.
- A French study reported that people with vitamin D levels below 50 nmol/L were nearly three times as likely to develop Alzheimerās disease.
- A recent mouse study found stronger immune resistance to experimentally transplanted cancers after a vitamin D-rich diet, while researchers said further work was needed before drawing conclusions about humans.
I take 25 mcg (1,000 IU), which is within the limits of what's considered safe (anything under 100 mcg a day for adults or 50 mcg for children, according to the NHS) but closer to the sort of doses studies show you need to take to ward off infections, cancers, and maybe even dementia.ā Dr Michael Mosley; quoted in a Gloucestershire Live article about vitamin D supplementation; notes his advocated dose and that itās near the level studies show is needed to ward off infections, cancers, and perhaps dementia.
