Zheng Yingzhi pointed out that blood vitamin D, or calcifediol, with a concentration between 20ng/ml and 30ng/mL is considered insufficient. The current target ideal value of calcifediol is 30-80ng/mL, but the above cases are only There is 17ng/mL.
Therefore, cases with signs of depression can first go to the clinic to check the vitamin D concentration to find out whether the vitamin D is low or high, and then discuss with the doctor whether to increase sun exposure or need to supplement vitamin D.
Zheng Yingzhi suggested that the average daily supplement should be more than 2000 international units at least. If you just want to get enough vitamin D3 from the sun, it is recommended to lie down at the middle of the day (about 10 am to 2 pm) and expose the body to a large area of about 15 -30 minutes. But in this state, if you do not expose to the sun, you must pay attention to the risk of skin cancer caused by ultraviolet rays. Therefore, moderate dietary supplements from food sources rich in vitamin D, such as liver, cod liver oil, fatty fish, fortified dairy products, egg yolks (Vitamin D3), mushrooms (Vitamin D2) or nutritional supplements, may be better than intensified sun exposure. Convenient and safe.

Symptoms include depression, weakness, fatigue, lack of energy, weight gain, etc. It is recommended to discuss with a doctor to find out the best The best solution.
