GridHEALTH.id – Maintaining a healthy body is a very important thing to do. Especially now that many people are returning to their normal activities outside the home.
Not only paying attention to the food consumed daily and exercising, maintaining a healthy body must also be accompanied by fulfilling vitamin intake, especially vitamin D.
Vitamin D has a big role in strengthening the body’s immune system, so it can protect itself from infections caused by bacteria, parasites, and viruses. Especially now that the Covid-19 pandemic is still happening.
It is known that the intake of vitamin D that must be met is around 600-800 International Units (IU) per day. Information about vitamin D intake is still lacking in the community, so that their needs are not met and increase the risk of health problems.
Doctor Adam Prabata General Practioner & PhD Candidate in Medical Science said, many people do not realize that they have a vitamin D deficiency.
“Vitamin D deficiency or deficiency is quite common. But most people are not aware because the complaint is very mild. In fact, there are people who have no complaints at all,” said Dr Adam at the launch press conference Fortiboost D3 1000 IU held by Combiphar, Thursday (13/01/2022).
Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency that most often occur are the body becomes susceptible to viral infections (coughs and colds), fatigue, and bone or muscle aches.
On the other hand, vitamin D deficiency according to Adam also affects the wound healing process, so it takes longer.

“Vitamin D deficiency can affect overall body health, because vitamin D plays an important role in processes and systems in the body. When vitamin D is reduced, there will be conditions or diseases that increase the risk,” he explained.
