To give Canadians a boost in vitamin D, Health Canada is now requiring milk and margarine producers to more than double the amount in their products. We don’t make vitamin D from the sun, you know, six to eight months of the year. Experts say vitamin D tablets are one way to help people, especially older adults, meet their recommended daily dose. As more people switch over to non-dairy drinks, Health Canada said it was important to ensure vitamin D was also included in alternatives.
