General practitioner Igor Alentov: vitamin D is the only one most people need almost all year round.
Doctor Alentov informed:
“The only vitamin that most people need extra at any time of year is vitamin D.”
The specialist said that this vitamin is produced in the skin when it is exposed to sunlight. Therefore, doctors recommend that patients spend more time in the fresh air in autumn and winter and take walks, leaving their face and hands open – this helps the body synthesize the substance it needs. Alentov noted that most Russians experience a lack of vitamin D during the cold season, when the amount of sun decreases. Many people lack it throughout the year due to the overall low number of sunny days. “Most people do not need to check their vitamin D levels. It is enough to take it prophylactically, checking the required dose with your doctor – it may vary depending on age and concomitant diseases “, – shared doctor’s advice in a conversation with Izvestia.
Also, Alentov added, animal foods can be a high-quality source of vitamin D for the body: fish, caviar, egg yolks, milk. The specialist does not recommend taking vitamin D in the form of dietary supplements. According to him, if necessary, competent doctors prescribe medications with this vitamin to patients.
