How much vitamin d should a woman take?4 answersWomen should consider taking daily vitamin D supplements to promote bone health. Recommendations suggest daily intakes of at least 600 IU to 800 IU for midlife women. For postmenopausal women aged 60 years and older, a dose of 800 IU per day is recommended to reduce falls and fractures by about 20–30%. However, in premenopausal women, supplementation with 1,000, 2,000, or 3,000 IU/day did not significantly reduce breast density or breast cancer risk. Additionally, pregnant women may benefit from vitamin D supplementation to lower the risk of pre-eclampsia, with doses ranging from 400 to 4,000 IU. Therefore, the appropriate amount of vitamin D intake for women varies depending on their life stage and specific health needs.
What is the recommended dose of b vitamins?3 answersThe recommended dose of B vitamins varies depending on the specific vitamin. For vitamin B1 (thiamin), the recommended daily intake is 1.2 mg/day for men and 1.1 mg/day for women. Supplementation with B vitamins, including vitamin B9 (folic acid), vitamin B12, and vitamin B6, has been shown to lower blood total homocysteine concentrations and reduce the relative risk of stroke. For vitamin B12 deficiency, parenteral vitamin B12 is considered the treatment of choice, but oral supplementation with 1-2 mg daily is also recommended. The dietary requirement for vitamin B6 is generally considered to be 15 micrograms/g dietary protein, with current recommended daily allowances ranging between 1.5 and 2.2 mg/day. It is important to note that higher doses of vitamin B6 can have adverse effects, and extremely high intakes can lead to neurological damage.
