The A-B-C-Ds of Sensible Sun Protection
Skin Therapy Letter, 08/01/08

Gilchrest BA - Strong evidence suggests that long-term oral vitamin D supplementation at doses up to 10 times the current RDAs are safe and many endocrinologists and nutritionists now suspect that the RDAs are too low. Therefore, it seems quite reasonable to recommend to all older patients who practice sun safety and to anyone even remotely concerned about vitamin D “sufficiency” that he/she take 1,000 IU of vitamin D daily, especially in the winter months. Routine measurement of the serum 25(OH)D level does not seem warranted, as the test is expensive and the “normal” or “optimal” range is debatable; in any case, the treatment for “low” levels is supplementation at this dose.
