Maintaining healthy vitamin D3 levels

If you are taking a vitamin D supplement, maintaining a healthy vitamin D level is as simple as taking the dose that your healthcare professional has prescribed for you.

If you are not taking a vitamin D supplement and your vitamin D levels are adequate, but you are interested in maintaining your healthy vitamin D levels, here are some helpful tips:

• The main source of vitamin D for Australians is sun exposure.^[2] Practising safe sun exposure can help you maintain healthy vitamin D levels.
• Getting vitamin D from your diet can also supplement the amount of vitamin D you produce from sunlight. Some foods contain more vitamin D than others; therefore eating these foods on a regular basis can add to the amount of vitamin D you naturally produce in the skin from sun exposure.
• Keep in mind that vitamin D is present in only small amounts in foods. To obtain adequate vitamin D levels, it is advisable to combine sun exposure with dietary intake of vitamin D3.^[2]
