Do I need a vitamin D3 supplement? The amount of vitamin D3 that an individual needs varies due to a variety of factors, but recent research suggests that the 400 IU RDI is not sufficient for most people, especially if they are unable to get their dose from the sun’s rays. Some factors that contribute to vitamin D deficiency include:

• Spending most of the day indoors
• Using sunscreen
• Wintertime & less sunny climates
• Darker skin tone (melanin blocks UVB rays, which facilitate vitamin D production in the skin)
