Food complements/Assistances with the osseous growth

Our organization needs vitamin D to absorb calcium, first basic element of the osseous growth. The vitamin D increases up to 80% the capacity of the organization to absorb calcium. The vitamin D takes all its importance as we take age and that our organization then absorbs less better calcium. Together, calcium and the vitamin D can prevent the osteoporosis, a disease where the bones become fine and breakable at the point to break easily.

One often calls the vitamin D “the vitamin of the sun” because our organization can in fact of manufacturing it itself when it is exposed to the sun. The summer, to expose our arms, our face and our hands with the sun during only 10 to 15 minutes per day, three times per week, can contribute to the manufacture of a sufficient quantity of vitamin D to meet the needs for the organization.

Unfortunately, the sun is not perhaps the surest means and most reliable to have a contribution in vitamin D sufficient. The recourse to solar shields to prevent the cancer of the skin blocks the rays necessary to the production of vitamin D. the people with the dark dye absorb less the rays of the sun than the people with the clear dye, and they are thus likely to introduce deficiencies in vitamin D. Moreover, many people, in particular the elderly, run the same risk of deficiency insofar as they spend more time inside. Lastly, the long Canadian, cold winters and without luminosity, involve the interruption of the production of vitamin D by the skin of at the beginning of October at the end of March, each year.

Then, how to have a sufficient contribution in vitamin D – and with how much this contribution rises? The old babies, children and adults of less than 50 years need 400 UI (international units) per day. One recommends to the old adults of more than 50 years a contribution of 800 UI per day.

In Canada, milk glass (250 ml) is enriched in vitamin D with height by 100 UI, which in fact a good source of this nutrient. Minor amounts of vitamin D are present in the margarine, eggs, the chicken liver, salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel, the swordfish and the oil of fish liver. However, our only food easily does not guarantee a contribution in vitamin D to us sufficient and you can thus choose to take a complement. Do not forget that the majority of the multivitamines contain 400 UI of vitamin D, which is enough with the majority to the people. Do not yield to temptation to take higher amounts – to take too much vitamin D can involve the calcium loss at the osseous level, a blood rate of too high calcium or of the renal problems.

It is particularly important that the babies and the children have a contribution in vitamin D sufficient. The children who present deficiencies in vitamin D can suffer from rickets, a disease which affects the osseous development. The milks maternized for infants are already nouveau riches in vitamin D, and the babies nourished with the feeding-bottle thus do not need. The babies nourished with the center, on the other hand, can need a complement of vitamin D because the mother’s milk is generally low in vitamin D. the mother’s milk remains the best food for the babies but, if you nurse, consult your doctor to know if your baby needs a complement in vitamin D.
