2 Ways To Take Vitamin D #vitamind #immunesystem #shorts

Did you know there are two ways to take vitamin D? Because vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, it means when you take this vitamin, the body uses what it needs and it stores the rest in the fat cells. Versus when you take a water-soluble vitamin, the body uses what it needs and anything left over gets peed out. Now, the body is wise. It dictates what it needs. Now, that would be great for all vitamins, but not the fat-soluble ones. You have to be a bit more careful because too much can cause harm. But here are some safe amounts to keep in mind and two options of how to take it. Option 1, you could take a small amount each day. For example, safe amount for children over 12 months is 1,000 IUs per day. So 1 dose per day is option 1. Or option 2, you could take your entire weekly dose all in 1 day. So let's say your child's over 12 months, she could take 7,000 IUs per week. I got that number by taking the daily amount, which is 1,000 IUs per day, times it by 7 days. That's your 7,000 IUs. So you can choose each day you give 1,000 per day or choose 1 day per week and give your child 7,000 IUs.
