Vitamin D has to be eaten since birth, what should I do if I miss it? Can AD be complemented?

The holidays really, really fly by! These two weeks should be the start of school and construction season for most people. This means that both students and office workers have to return to the state of long-term expectation indoors.

As a result, there are very few hours of the day to be exposed to sunlight. If outdoor activities are severely inadequate and do not get the sun, it will lead to a decrease in our own vitamin D synthesis.

Do many people think that vitamin D is only needed by infants and young children? That's a big mistake! Whether it is for children, adults, or the elderly, the lack of vitamin D is a trouble:

Not to mention that it may cause muscle weakness, organ dysfunction, depression, it may also increase the prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and even increase cardiovascular disease-related mortality and cancer mortality. Especially for the elderly, there is a greater risk of falls and fractures.

So, how exactly should vitamin D be supplemented? Is there a problem with forgetting to eat? What should I do if I miss food? Which time of day is best to make up... Today, I will give you a good inventory of the necessary knowledge of vitamin D!

One

Who needs vitamin D supplementation

Vitamin D can promote calcium absorption and bone development, but many people who should eat it do not receive regular supplementation.

In addition to infants and young children, children and adults who spend less time outdoors and do not get enough sunlight may have difficulty synthesizing enough vitamin D and need additional supplementation. For example, students who are busy with their studies and have few outdoor activities, white-collar workers who go out early and return late, especially delicate people who go out and have strict sun protection.

Special emphasis needs to be placed on the elderly population here. Many older adults are on the verge of vitamin D deficiency due to lack of sunlight, impaired ability of the skin to synthesize provitamin D, and decreased hydroxylation by the kidneys with age.

Therefore, all older adults should be encouraged to increase dietary vitamin D intake (e.g., black fungus, salmon, dairy, egg yolk). At the same time, vitamin D3 supplementation is recommended for vitamin D supplementation for the elderly at a dose of 600 IU/day.

All in all, we recommend that people who need it actively supplement with vitamin D. In particular, the following high-risk groups of vitamin D deficiency: infants and young children, pregnant women, the elderly, obese people, and people in high latitudes.

If ordinary people do not love outdoor activities / block the sun / wear sunscreen, resulting in insufficient UV exposure, the risk of vitamin D deficiency is also higher. For people at risk of vitamin D deficiency, it can be supplemented from age 0 to old age.

Babies aged 0~1 generally need 400IU of vitamin D per day;

Children >1 year of age and adults need 600IU of vitamin D per day.

Two

Is it enough vitamin D to synthesize solar energy through glass?

Can't and is not recommended.

Ultraviolet rays in sunlight are divided into UVA, UVB, UVC, and the skin can only synthesize vitamin D when exposed to UVB. But UVB cannot penetrate glass, only UVA can penetrate ordinary glass. Therefore, sun exposure through glass windows not only does not make the skin synthesize vitamin D, but may cause the baby's skin to be damaged by UVA.

Because sunlight may induce or aggravate a variety of skin diseases and increase the risk of skin cancer, it is not recommended to specifically allow the baby to receive unprotected sunlight in order to obtain vitamin D, but should supplement the child with sufficient vitamin D through vitamin D supplementation.

Three

Is it okay to eat vitamin D once a week for a week?

No benefit is seen and may be harmful.

The upper daily dose of vitamin D is different for people of different ages. Based on 600IU a day supplement for adults, the weekly supplement is 4200IU.

And now if you supplement this 4200IU in one day, then this supplement is excessive for any age. (* The maximum tolerable dose of vitamin D intake for children and adults over 9 years of age is no more than 4000 IU per day) There may also be potential concerns with long-term high-dose vitamin D supplementation.

Although supplementing vitamin D every day is slightly troublesome, it is recommended to do it honestly, this lazy we don't steal~

Four

Does eating more vitamin D promote taller?

No.

A moderate amount of vitamin D is sufficient, and extra supplementation will not make your child grow taller. Similarly, there is currently no evidence that vitamin D supplementation will cause increased bone calcification in children and shorten in height.

Five

What's wrong with forgetting to eat, intermittent supplementation

Children occasionally forget to eat for a day or two, so as not to lead to serious health consequences, do not worry too much.

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, usually ingested will be stored in the body's fat tissue, when a certain stage of vitamin D intake is insufficient, the human body will use the usual stored vitamin D to maintain health.

But if the child often forgets to eat, supplements intermittently, or has been diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency but does not follow the doctor's advice to supplement regularly, it is necessary to pay attention to vitamin D deficiency and related health problems. If necessary, take your child to the doctor to complete the relevant examinations.

Six

What to do if you miss eating

Generally, if you find that your child missed vitamin D, if you remember it that day, make up for it as soon as possible.

If you don't remember that you didn't eat the day before until the next day, then don't care about what you forgot the day before, and continue to supplement the day according to the routine.

However, if you add a regular dose the next day, there is generally no problem, and there is no need to worry about overdose or poisoning.

Seven

At what time of day is the best time of day to supplement

Yes.

Children can be given vitamin D supplementation regardless of the time point in the morning, noon, and evening, and there is no research evidence to suggest which time point is best.

Once you choose a certain time point to give your child vitamin D, it is best to fix this time every day in the future. Not for a higher absorption rate, but simply for the convenience of remembering so as not to forget to eat.

Eight

Is it better to eat AD or D3

Can you eat alternately

Vitamin A is not for all people to eat, it will be rich in food, we recommend eating orange-yellow and dark green foods to supplement vitamin A, rather than eating vitamin AD supplements.

On the other hand, vitamin A can also be supplemented by breast milk, if the mother's food intake is enough, the breastfed baby does not need to be supplemented, and if the mother's food intake is not enough, the mother can supplement it.

In addition, vitamin A is also found in formula, and if vitamin A is supplemented, it is recommended to estimate whether it exceeds the maximum tolerance (0-3 years, 2000IU).

Therefore, in general, direct vitamin D supplementation is recommended.

Nine

Take vitamin D3 drops while sunbathing and food supplementation

Will this be excessive?

This one is unlikely.

Because vitamin D3 is photodegraded, heat in the skin limits the conversion of vitamin D3's precursor compounds into vitamin D3 and the conversion of vitamin D3 into inactive forms.

More vitamin D3 is stored in the body. When the body is not enough, it is impossible to go outdoors, or there is no sun on rainy days, it will be released when it is needed.

Ten
