Millions of people worldwide take supplements and pills for vitamin D. Now research has found that if they are born with milk or water instead of juice and other drinks, they are better absorbed in the body and have more benefits.
At the endocrinology conference held in Italy, Aarhus University expert Dr. Rasmus Spersen and his colleagues said that only 40% of the population in Europe does not have sufficient amounts of vitamin D. This rate has further increased as people are confined to their homes in the lockdown of the global epidemic.
In Pakistan too, a large number of women, especially, are suffering from severe vitamin D deficiency. This deficiency weakens bones, affects mental and psychological functions, and can lead to various disorders.
For this, people take vitamin D supplements and tablets, but it is more beneficial if taken with milk or water. For this, experts have conducted multi-faceted research.
They fed 200 grams of vitamin D3 and different items to 30 women aged 60 to 80. They were given 500 ml of plain water, juice, juice with vitamin D, and 500 ml of water (without vitamin D as a placebo).
Immediately, at 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours, vitamin D penetration was observed in blood samples. This research was continued for several days.
The study found that those who took vitamin D tablets with water and milk had better absorption of the vitamin, which was also confirmed by a blood test. Therefore, it is better to take vitamin D with water or milk.
