Can my mother take vitamin D?

With the details you provide, I would say yes. Vitamin D is a vitamin that is not found in large quantities in the diet. It is made by our skin when it is exposed to the sun. In winter, we make less vitamin D. With the cold weather of the last few days, I would be surprised if your mother had taken a sunbath. Vitamin D has benefits especially for bone health. It allows for the proper absorption of calcium to ensure that bones are healthy. It would be appropriate for her to use a supplement of 400 to 1000 units per day. However, she should inform her pharmacist so that he can record it in her file and mention it to her family doctor at her next appointment. Good evening Alexandre Bergeron, pharmacist
