With dark skins the Vitamin D synthesis is low. Here's a recent notification from the MOH."Among Sri Lankan adults Vitamin D deficiency was 58.8% and insufficiency 31.4%. Overall around 90% of Sri Lankan adults are not having adequate levels of vitamin D. A study conducted in Southern Sri Lanka (2013) found that overall VDD among community-dwelling healthy women was 56.2%. Another study found the age and sex-adjusted prevalence of VDD was 57.2% in an adult Sri Lankan urban population (2015). Among school children aged 10-18 years (2017), the prevalence of VDD and VDI was 13.2% (95%CI: 11.9%- 14.5%) and 45.6% (95%CI: 43.7%-47.5%), respectively. The results shown imply the high burden of VDD & VDI which suggests the government plan mitigation strategies to reduce the attributed disease burden in the country."Just take 2000IU a day.PS: You can always do a blood test and check.</blockquote>
