      February 09, 2022

      Although the optimal intake of vitamin D to acquire all of the potential nonskeletal health benefits remains uncertain, guidelines from the Endocrine Society recommend the following dietary intake:

      • Infants aged 0-1 year: ≥ 400 IU/d

      • Children aged 1-18 years: ≥ 600 IU/d

      • Adults aged 19-70 years: ≥ 600 IU/d

      • Adults older than 70 years: ≥ 800 IU/d

      Learn more about vitamin D intake.

      This Fast Five Quiz was excerpted and adapted from the Medscape article Vitamin D Deficiency and Related Disorders.
