How much vitamin D3 does your body need?
The German Nutrition Society (DGE) provides a table listing the recommended daily intake of vitamin D depending on age. While infants without endogenous synthesis require 10 µg (i.e., 10 micrograms, equivalent to 0.01 milligrams) of vitamin D3 per day through sunlight exposure, people of both sexes should consume 20 µg of vitamin D3 daily from the age of 1. Pregnant and breastfeeding women do not have an increased need for this vitamin.
Vitamin D deficiency?
While severe vitamin D3 deficiency is rare in Germany, mild deficiency symptoms are much more common. According to the Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL), almost 60 percent of the German population is deficient in vitamin D3 according to international criteria. Risk groups include people who rarely spend time outdoors, particularly those with chronic illnesses and those in need of care. Dark-skinned people are also often deficient in vitamin D3, as the skin's high melamine content provides greater protection against UVB radiation. Older people are particularly at risk, as the skin's ability to produce vitamin D3 decreases with age.
The use of vitamin D3
If you have an increased need for vitamin D3 and cannot or do not want to cover this through sufficient sunlight on bare skin and the consumption of certain foods due to your dietary habits or illness, we recommend taking vitamin D3 as a dietary supplement.
Vitamin D3 – the power of the “sun hormone”
Vitamin D belongs to the group of fat-soluble vitamins. It functions as a prohormone in the body and must first be converted into its active form, vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), in the liver and, especially, the kidneys before it can function as a hormone. Vitamin D is absorbed through food. It can also be produced in the body with the help of ultraviolet radiation from the short-wave portion of sunlight. This process is called endogenous synthesis.
As one of the most important vitamins for calcium metabolism, the "sunshine vitamin" plays a crucial role in bone formation and tooth development. Vitamin D3 improves calcium and phosphate absorption from the intestines. Vitamin D3 also increases bone mineralization and increases calcium reabsorption in the kidneys.
Furthermore, vitamin D3 is of great importance for the stability of our immune system. A sufficiently high vitamin D3 level is, among other things, a prerequisite for an appropriate cellular immune response in the event of an infection with viruses, fungi, or bacteria, and for the body to be able to mobilize defense cells against invading pathogens.
Especially during cold season, the "sun hormone" is one of the essential vitamins for our health. During the cold season, the body is often unable to synthesize sufficient amounts of vitamin D3 from solar radiation. Even when the sun shines, it is too low in the sky in winter to provide the skin with sufficient ultraviolet radiation. While a healthy person can survive for a while on vitamin D stores in their fatty tissue, deficiency symptoms often occur, especially at the end of the dark season. Therefore, taking vitamin D3 as a dietary supplement can be beneficial, especially during this time.
Vitamin D3 is important for us
Vitamin D3 is essential for our immune system, which is why it is one of the essential vitamins for our health, especially during cold season.
Good to know: According to the 2008 National Consumption Study II (NVS II), average vitamin D3 intake is significantly below the reference values. 94% of older men and 97% of older women do not meet the recommended vitamin D3 intake. Adolescents and young adults aged 14 to 24 also fall below the recommended daily intake. 86% of men and more than 96% of women are vitamin D3 deficient. Adolescents, young adults, and seniors are among the clearly at-risk groups.

Vitamin D3 tablets
Strong bones, teeth and immune system
Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin that your body absorbs partly through food and partly synthesizes from sunlight. Vitamin D3 plays a crucial role in calcium metabolism and is extremely important for building and maintaining strong bones and teeth. Vitamin D3 improves calcium and phosphate absorption from the intestines. It increases bone mineralization. Furthermore, vitamin D3 is extremely important for the stability of your immune system. A sufficiently high vitamin D3 level is, among other things, a prerequisite for your body's ability to mobilize defense cells.
The immune vitamin
Indispensable addition
In bad weather and with little sunshine, your body often lacks the ability to synthesize sufficient amounts of vitamin D3 from sunlight. This "sunshine vitamin" is one of the essential vitamins for your health, especially during cold season and in changeable weather.
You ask – we answer
What exactly is vitamin D3?
Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin that your body absorbs partly through food and mostly synthesizes through the skin using sunlight. It functions as a prohormone in the body and must first be converted into its active form in the liver and, more importantly, in the kidneys to act as a hormone. Vitamin D is absorbed through food. However, it can also be produced in the body with the help of UV-B rays if sufficient UV-B radiation reaches the skin. This process is known as endogenous synthesis. The conditions for sufficient endogenous vitamin D synthesis are not met in all people for geographical, climatic, cultural, and other reasons (e.g., age, air pollution, sunscreen, staying indoors). Vitamin D3 plays a crucial role in bone metabolism and the immune system.
Which foods contain a lot of vitamin D3?
Cod liver oil contains a high concentration of vitamin D3. Fish and seafood such as eel, salmon, and herring also contain high levels of vitamin D3. Plant-based foods play a negligible role. Only mushrooms provide another source of vitamin D, vitamin D2. Nevertheless, vegetarians and vegans are more likely to be deficient.
Am I lacking vitamin D3?
While severe vitamin D3 deficiency is rare in Germany, mild deficiencies are much more common. According to the Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL), almost 60 percent of the German population is deficient in vitamin D3 according to international criteria.
What does IU mean for vitamin D3?
Vitamin D dosage is sometimes given in "IU," or international units, and sometimes in "μg," or micrograms. The conversion for vitamin D3 is: 1 μg = 40 IU; 1 IU = 0.025 μg; 1,000 IU = 25 μg vitamin D3.
