Supplements And Diet Are Best Vitamin D Sources, Says AAD

Based on recent scientific studies, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) has issued updated recommendations on vitamin D and its role in maintaining skin health.
As before, the AAD maintains that dietary sources and nutritional supplements, rather than unprotected exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun or indoor tanning devices, are the best sources of vitamin D.
It reminds the public that UV radiation is a known risk factor for skin cancer.
The association also stresses that those who regularly practice sun protection, such as the daily use of sunscreen on exposed skin or sun protective clothing, may be at risk for vitamin D insufficiency and should pay particular attention to proper supplementation.
"The vitamin D position statement supports the Academy’s long-held conviction on safe ways to get this important vitamin – through a healthy diet which incorporates foods naturally rich in vitamin D, vitamin D-fortified foods and beverages and vitamin D supplements," says Dr. David M. Pariser, president of the academy.
The currently recommended intake levels established by the National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine may be revised upward due to evolving research on the benefits of vitamin D.
Meanwhile, the Department of Agriculture Dietary Guidelines discuss a daily total dose of 1,000 IUD of vitamin D for supplementation of those at risk, but experts have been known to recommend as much as twice that dose.
