With the darker winter months upon us, we do not get enough sun exposure for our bodies to produce sufficient vitamin D on their own. Osteoporosis Canada recommends that most Canadian adults should take a daily vitamin D supplement. Vitamin D plays an essential role in bone health by facilitating the absorption of calcium. In addition, it helps maintain muscle health, can minimize the effects of seasonal depression, and may reduce the risk of fractures caused by falls. Talk to one of our pharmacists about recommended doses.
