vitamin D
Vitamin D is a very important nutrient for our body. It makes bones strong, helps the muscles to function smoothly and improve the immune system of the body. Vitamin D deficiency can cause problems like fatigue, bone pain, muscle weakness and frequent falling ill. The cheapest and good way to meet this deficiency is – incense or sun’s bears, in addition, usually two major options are revealed supplements and fish oils. Dr. Anjana Kalia, Ayurvedic doctor and nutritionist in Bloom Clinics located in Dwarka, is telling that if there is a deficiency of vitamin D, supplement should be taken or fish oil
Vitamin D supplements complete the deficiency:
Talking about supplements, they are available as tablets, capsules or liquid drops in the form of vitamin D3. They should be taken according to the advice of the doctor, because the supplement taken in the right amount increases the body rapidly and removes the deficiency of vitamin D quickly. Supplements are especially beneficial for those who do not have the opportunity to spend enough time in the sun or are more lacking. One of their big advantages is that their options are also available for vegetarian people.
Fish oil is also beneficial:
On the other hand, fish oil is also a natural source of vitamin D. Especially in cod liver oil, a good amount of vitamin D is found. Along with this, fish oil also contains omega-3 fatty acids, which is beneficial for heart and brain health. It helps in reducing inflammation of the body. However, the vitamin D from fish oil is in limited amounts and due to this it is not sufficient to overcome severe shortage. In addition, some people do not like its smell and taste and it is not suitable for vegetarian people.
Which option is better?
So if you talk about which option is better, then the answer depends on your situation. If there is a slight deficiency of vitamin D in the body and you are not struggling with any serious health problem, fish oil can be a natural and supportive option. But if the deficiency is high or the doctor has advised special dose, taking supplements is more effective and safe.
Anjana Kalia says that my advice as an expert is not to start any supplement without investigation and advice. Every person’s need is different and hence Vitamin D should be fulfilled with the right guidance. Your health is the most valuable, handle it sensibly.
