The nutritionist named a way to get a daily allowance of vitamin D without pills

Dietitian Rimma Moisenko told how to get a daily dose of vitamin D without pills.

In an interview with Radio 1 on Friday, March 27, the expert noted that theoretically vitamin D can be obtained from food, but in practice it requires too large amounts.

According to her, the daily allowance is about 100 grams of wild salmon, but this product is not available to everyone, and the alternatives look even less realistic.: It can be about 8 cups of milk, 2 kg of cheese or up to 40 egg yolks.

She added that the absorption of the vitamin is often hindered by gastrointestinal diseases, so fish oil remains a more reliable option — about two tablespoons cover the daily requirement.

The specialist also stressed that vitamin deficiency is associated not only with a lack of sun, but also with internal factors, which is why taking supplements (including vitamin K2) it may be more effective than trying to replenish it only through nutrition.
