Product Description
BetterYou DLux3000 Vitamin D Spray, 3000IU (75μg) of vitamin D3 per dosage.
Why We Chose This Product
- Vitamin D is made by the skin when exposed to sunlight.
- EVERYONE in the UK should take vitamin D during the autumn/winter (September-March) as our skin can't make enough vitamin D from the winter sun.
- UK government guidance says for EVERYONE in the UK to take 400 international units (IU) of vitamin D per day in the winter/autumn.
- 3 studies found vitamin D supplements improved eczema when compared to a placebo. These were relatively small studies so a bigger study would be useful.
- In one study vitamin D worked best for people who had low vitamin D levels on an initial blood test, so we recommend vitamin D a blood test.
- Steroid creams and moisturisers should be continued alongside vitamin D.
- Low vitamin D in pregnant women increases the chance of a baby having eczema. Vitamin D supplements in pregnancy might prevent eczema.
- We recommend that people with eczema should have a vitamin D blood test. If vitamin D levels are low then a high dose of vitamin D can be given to top up the levels. Otherwise everyone should take 400 IU of vitamin D daily in the winter/autumn.
- This spray is suitable for vegetarians.
Directions
Vitamin D prevention in autumn/winter for adults and children: A single spray (3000 IU) directly into the mouth (ideally under the tongue) once a week (equivalent to 400 IU per day).
Can be sprayed into a drink if preferred.
If you have vitamin D deficiency from a blood test a higher dose is recommended, which should be guided by your doctor.
