The menopause is a formative phase in the lives of many women. This time is accompanied by a wide range of physical and emotional changes. Vitamin D is an often overlooked but nevertheless crucial component for menopausal health. This essential vitamin has various effects that you particularly need during the menopause. We explain why this is the case in more detail in this article.
The functions of vitamin D during the menopause
Vitamin D is often referred to as the “sun vitamin”. Unlike most other vitamins, it hardly comes from food, but is produced by the body itself. However, it needs a lot of sunlight to do so. Vitamin D is responsible for numerous important functions in the body. The most important tasks include the following:
- Bone health: Vitamin D is important for the calcium level in the blood. This is necessary for good bone health. That’s why the role of vitamin D is particularly important now.
- Immune system: A healthy immune system is crucial during the menopause. Vitamin D plays an important role in supporting the immune system.
How can you get enough vitamin D?
To ensure that you are well supplied with vitamin D during the menopause, you should take the following measures:
- Fill up on sunlight! Spend time outdoors regularly and give your skin the natural light of the sun! This can boost the production of vitamin D in your body. However, you should know that it is not always possible to get enough vitamin D from the sun, especially in winter.
- Eat foods rich in vitamin D! During the menopause, which is a particular physiological challenge for the body, it is not always possible to cover your vitamin D requirements with food alone. But you can support your body by eating salmon, mackerel, herring, mushrooms or eggs, for example.
- Support with food supplements! You can effectively prevent or compensate for a deficiency with vitamin D supplements. We recommend our popular product SILICIUM LIQUID. This high-quality food supplement not only contains vitamin D, but also the important vitamin K2 and silicon. Just 5 ml per day will help your body to replenish its vitamin D stores. We have also been offering you our new SILICIUM PRIME for a few months now – it also contains the valuable minerals magnesium and calcium.
Can you get rid of all the symptoms of the menopause with vitamin D? Of course not. But a good supply of this vitamin is an important building block for health during this turbulent time.
