How much vitamin D do I need?
Osteoporosis Canada recommends daily supplements of: 400 to 1,000 IU for adults under age 50 without osteoporosis or conditions affecting vitamin D absorption.
800 to 2,000 IU for adults over 50.
The Canadian Cancer Society recommends Canadians take in 1,000 IU — 25 micrograms — of vitamin D every day. During the spring and summer, that can be accomplished through normal daily exposure to the sun. In the fall and winter months, a vitamin D supplement may be necessary.
Health Canada's guidelines remain at 400 IU — 10 micrograms. Health Canada advises people to take a daily vitamin D supplement, as following the revised Canada Food Guide would only provide 200 IU of vitamin D a day.
A study released by the Institute of Health concludes that 600 IU of vitamin D meets the needs of almost everyone in the U.S. and Canada, although people 71 and older may require as much as 800 IUs per day because of potential physical and behavioral changes related to aging.
