Frequently Asked Questions & Answers from Edubily

Is vitamin D3 vegetarian or vegan?

Vitamin D3 is vegetarian, but not vegan. It is extracted from sheep's wool fat (lanolin).

Can I add vitamin D3 to food or drinks?

Theoretically, yes, but taking it directly into the mouth is more advisable. This allows the vitamin D3 to be absorbed through the mucous membranes, which can promote more effective absorption.

How much vitamin D is in food?

Vitamin D is present in very small amounts in the diet, usually covering only 10-20% of the body's needs. Foods with significant amounts of vitamin D include fatty fish (salmon, herring, and mackerel).
It is almost impossible to cover your vitamin D needs exclusively through diet.

Isn't it enough if I stay in the sun?

The intensity of solar radiation in our latitudes between October and March is not sufficient to produce enough vitamin D. Supplementation may therefore be beneficial.

How long does the vitamin D storage from summer last?

In short: not at all. Studies show that vitamin D supply in Europe is inadequate, especially during the winter months.A 2015 study by the Robert Koch Institute found that 80% of Germans don't even reach the recommended 20 ng/ml – and 30 ng/ml is even rarer. Despite this significant undersupply, the problem is often downplayed in Germany.

What is an optimal vitamin D level?

Information on optimal vitamin D levels varies depending on the source. According to the Robert Koch Institute, a level of approximately 20 ng/ml (50 nmol/l) is considered sufficient. However, several professional societies, including the Endocrine Society and vitamin D discoverer Michael F. Holick (recent publication in Nature), recommend at least 30 ng/ml (75 nmol/l) to maximize the positive effects on calcium, bone, and muscle metabolism.

How does body weight affect vitamin D dose?

Body weight has a direct impact on vitamin D requirements. First, adipose tissue can serve as a "storage" for vitamin D, making it less available in the blood. Second, the requirement increases with increasing body mass. Studies show that severely obese people need up to two to three times more vitamin D, while overweight people should, on average, consume about 50% more.

How much vitamin D should one-year-olds get?

A recent article in the renowned journal Nature recommends a daily intake of 400 to 1,000 IU for infants up to one year. For babies and children, we also have a specially tailored preparation from Edubily in our range. This allows for safe and easy dosing for children.

Can you overdose on vitamin D?

Theoretically, yes, but in practice, this is rare. Vitamin D is one of the safest vitamins because it is naturally produced in very high amounts in the skin during the summer through sun exposure. A dose of around 10,000 IU, often considered high, can be produced by the skin in just a few minutes. The body therefore has mechanisms to cope with high doses. However, very high doses of more than 10,000 IU per day for extended periods should be avoided.

Does vitamin D need to be combined with vitamin K2?

Not essential, but advisable. Vitamin D influences the formation of vitamin K-dependent proteins. A supplemental supply of K2 can therefore be beneficial. You'll find a separate Vitamins K1 & K2 Preparation, as well as 2-in1 Vitamin D3 and K2 drops.

Can you take vitamin D3 during pregnancy?

Yes! Studies show that up to 4,000 I.E. per day are safe.
