Deficiency rules

Your body can make vitamin D in the skin with the help of sunlight. But this only works with enough intensity of the UVB rays. Between the end of September and the beginning of April, the sun is too low for your body to produce vitamin D, even at noon.

That is why your vitamin D level is falling steadily from week to week as of autumn and reaches its lowest point in spring!

 

Test

You can only do something effectively if you know your individual vitamin D level. Therefor, check your vitamin D level regularly. The Vitamin D test for at home from Cerascreen is an efficient solution. After the test adapt your vitamin D supplementation to the test result
