1. can vitamin D and calcium be taken together?

Calcium and vitamin D play an essential role in bone metabolism. This is done to prevent excessive bone mass in adults and the elderly. In children and adolescents, on the other hand, vitamin D and calcium are very important for building the skeleton. During growth, humans need sufficient peak bone mass to develop well. This can be formed by calcium. Calcium is quantitatively the most important mineral in the human organism and essential for the bones. Vitamin supports calcium in three ways. It improves the absorption, helps in the incorporation of calcium into the bones and supports the hardening of the bones.

    2. the daily requirement of vitamin D3 and calcium

    The German Society for Nutrition recommends a daily amount of vitamin D3 of 4000 IU for an adult person. However, it should always be noted that height, gender and body weight play a major role in this. Age is particularly important, as the daily content is significantly lower in children and infants. In pregnant and breastfeeding women, the daily amount of vitamin D3 increases significantly again.

    The daily requirement of calcium depends on age and sex. The German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends a daily calcium intake of approx. 900-1000 mg for adults. For infants, an amount of approx. 500 mg is sufficient. Pregnant and breastfeeding women, on the other hand, should consume about 1300 mg of calcium, as they have to provide for their offspring. However, the daily requirement can vary depending on body size and weight.

    3. causes of vitamin D3 deficiency

    • Taking certain medicines (medicines for epilepsy, for example)
    • Increased excretion of vitamin D3
    • malnutrition
    • Alcoholism
    • Impaired absorption of vitamin D3
    • too little exposure to sunlight
    • increased need (e.g. pregnancy)

    4. vitamin D and calcium in the form of food supplements
