"Almost everyone in Europe gets insufficient vitamin D because the sun is not strong enough in winter to make any in the skin. People in Britain and Ireland have particularly low levels of the sunshine vitamin because of our cloudy summer climate. Taking a regular vitamin D supplement of at least 1000 IUs per day, preferably more, will restore an optimum level in the blood with a substantial improvement in health and reduction in risks of future disease," Oliver Gillie, director of Health Research Forum.
Developed under the expert guidance of healthcare pioneer Jan de Vries, D Lux 1000 vitamin D spray is of particular importance to children, the elderly, during pregnancy and those with dark skin. Vitamin D spray aids calcium absorption and is fundamental for maintaining healthy teeth and bones.
The formula is micro emulsified for optimal uptake and utilisation and enters directly into the blood supply rather than being processed by the digestive system. Each measured vitamin D spray delivers 1000iu, the optimal single dose recommended by the Food Standards Agency.
What We Recommend: If you worry about poor sunlight exposure and vitamin D deficiency, particularly during Winter months, our advice is as follows: children under the age of 1 years should take 500-1,000 IU vitamin D3 per day (one spray each day or every other day if under 6 months). Everyone else should be supplementing at least 1,000 IU vitamin D3 per every 25kg of body weight. Adults and adolescents should certainly aim to take 3-5,000 IU per day during the Winter months. Around 2-3 months later have a 25-hydroxyvitamin D blood test.
Remember, these are conservative dosage recommendations. Most people who avoid the sun, and virtually all dark-skinned people, will have to increase their dose if they find their blood level is still low, especially in the winter. No one can get toxic on the doses recommended above and some people will need even more. With this spray, you can help make vitamin D deficiency a thing of the past.

Vitamin D Home Test
Convenient and accurate test for screening Vitamin D levels. Results directly to your home with expert interpretation by David Brassey from Synergy Natural Health and Fitness Centre.
Declining levels do not necessarily show symptoms: Many physicians are responding to recent research linking a variety of disease states and general wellness to vitamin D levels. Vitamin D deficiency (levels measured below 40 ng/ml) does not necessarily show obvious symptoms and more and growing research suggests you can increase your risk of a poor immune system, coughs, colds and flu to even more serious diseases with continuing insufficient levels.
Vitamin D is used by the body both to maintain wellness and to treat disease. We simply do not currently know exactly how much vitamin D our bodies use to fight off infection and disease let alone how much we need to truly support a healthy immune system. We do know however that deficiency is problematic to our health and supplementation during Winter months is highly recommended.
Vitamin D testing made simple, How it works:
After receiving your kit either, use the ingenious and painless thumb pricker to collect 5 drops of blood onto the blotter included in the kit. A postage paid envelope is provided.

Your test results will be accompanied by a full explanatory summary and practical advice based upon the results.
What We Recommend: If you have little UVB exposure, particularly during Winter months, our advice is as follows: children under the age of 1 years should take 500-1,000 IU vitamin D3 per day (one spray each day or every other day if under 6 months). Everyone else should be supplementing at least 1,000 IU vitamin D3 per every 25kg of body weight. Adults and adolescents should certainly aim to take 3-5,000 IU per day during the Winter months. Around 2-3 months later have a 25-hydroxyvitamin D blood test.
Test as often as you feel the need to, just remember, no one can experience toxicity on the doses recommended above and some people will need even more. Your report will tell you everything you need to know.
