Dekristol 1.000 IE Tablet, 200 St

Dekristol® D3 – Your Daily Sunshine Vitamin For outdoor workstations, get out every day for some sport or exercise – before sundown, of course! Anyone who can say that about themselves has more than just well-trained muscles and strong bones. The supply of vitamin D is of course also very good. However, for many people, daily life looks different. Whether it is summer or winter, many people like to spend not only their working time but also their free time indoors. A study by the Robert Koch Institute reflects one possible consequence: around six out of ten German adults have low levels of vitamin D in their blood. Among children aged 1 to 17 years, almost half of the values ​​were found to be too low [1].

The human body can only absorb a small amount of vitamin D through diet. For example, it is found in fatty fish such as mackerel, salmon or herring, and in smaller amounts in eggs, milk and cheese. Fruits and vegetables are healthy, but they don't contain vitamin D. The human body can produce most of its own vitamin D. However, our bodies need the UV-B component of sunlight to make this happen. Yet, this is exactly what many people don’t get enough of: in the fall and winter, when daylight hours are scarce, and in the summer, when many activities take place indoors or because outdoor clothing and sunscreen protect the skin from UV-B radiation.

Skin type and age also affect vitamin D production: people with darker skin and older adults need more time in the sun to produce enough vitamin D. Others have trouble leaving their homes for health reasons. These people are also at increased risk of developing vitamin D deficiency. Certain regularly used medications can also increase your need for vitamin D. According to the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), the first signs of vitamin D deficiency are low concentrations of calcium and phosphate in the blood. In the later stages, symptoms such as bone hypomineralization, bone pain, severe bone deformities, changes in muscle metabolism and respiratory function, and decreased immune function may occur[2]. Vitamin D receptors (binding sites where vitamin D mediates its effects) are also present in many cells of the organism. Therefore, processes involved in the cardiovascular system and glucose metabolism are also discussed [3].

The German Nutrition Society recommends that adults take 800 IU of vitamin D per day. A high enough dose of a medication such as Dekristol® can help prevent deficiency and meet daily requirements. Dekristol® Tablets
