While most vitamin requirements are met by our balanced diet, Vitamin D needs to be an area of focus. Intake of Vitamin can only be had thru direct exposure to sunlight. Absence of Vitamin D can lead to weakening of the density of our bones. It’s important that we get as much sunshine on to our body as possible.
With growing awareness of the importance and the knowledge of vitamins, the usage of vitamin supplement has grown. Most of us tend to buy these as OTCs (Over the Counter).The Vitamin Supplement industry is not fully accredited and there are a large range of supplements that are not accredited by the Drug approval authorities. It is important that we take advice of a Medical practioner (Doctor) before we start on a course of vitamin supplements.
