I just watched your newest video and it was fantastic as usual. The segment about the adult requirement of 2000 units/day for Vitamin D was interesting and helpful. Can you please tell me what a child’s requirement is likely to be? We have a three year old.

Answer:
I’m so glad you’re finding the videos useful. The official (Institute of Medicine) recommendation for those over 1 year of age is 600 IU a day of vitamin D. In two weeks I’m going to be rolling out a series of eight vitamin D videos from my volume 6 DVD offering justification for my 2000 iu. day recommendation for adults:
- Vitamin D Recommendations Changed
- Evolutionary Argument for Optimal Vitamin D Level
- Is Vitamin D the New Vitamin E?
- Vitamin D and Mortality May Be a U-shaped Curve
- Vitamin D Supplements May Be Necessary
- The Difficulty of Arriving at a Vitamin D Recommendation
- Resolving the Vitamin D-Bate
- Take Vitamin D Supplements With Meals
