Up to 1 in 3 Australians* may have low vitamin D levels

Although Vitamin D is found in some foods, you cannot get enough from your diet so most people get their Vitamin D through direct sun exposure on the skin or by taking Vitamin D supplements.  A busy lifestyle can mean a person is at risk - leaving for work early and arriving home after dark, especially during winter can mean the average person may not be getting adequate levels of Vitamin D from natural sunlight, elderly, dark skinned etc.

Vitamin D helps calcium to be absorbed effectively from the gut, which is essential for producing strong and healthy bones.  A lack of Vitamin D can decrease the body's ability to effectively absorb calcium, which can lead to Osteoporosis in adults. Vitamin D levels can be checked with a simple blood test.
