Why is vitamin D useful and how to understand that it is not enough: an immunologist explains

Drops, capsules or tablets?

In fact, the form of the drug in which additional vitamin D is taken is not fundamental. Modern products are highly available, so the substance is absorbed well both from capsules and droplets, and from tablets. It is important to look at a person, take into account his age and the dosage of vitamin D. Definitely, only drops are suitable for young children – an aqueous or oily solution, since babies do not know how to drink capsules and tablets.

For adults, capsules or tablet forms are quite suitable, they are easy to swallow. Drops are also quite acceptable, but it is necessary accurately measure them. Many people think that 2 drops are not serious, and they add the same amount, or even more, to themselves on top. This is a dangerous mistake.

It is no less dangerous to take capsules, tablets with a dosage above 1000 IU without a doctor’s prescription and control on his part. Anything above 600-800 IU are therapeutic doses, they can also do harm.
