The surprising link between vitamin D, calcium and dizziness
There is a direct relationship between vitamin D, calcium, and balance. When the inner ear contains too much calcium or is unable to eliminate it properly, crystals dissolve more slowly. Studies have even shown that people suffering from osteoporosis—and therefore a calcium imbalance—are more prone to dizziness.
The solution? Ensure a good intake of vitamin D, which helps the body absorb and use calcium properly. In cases of deficiency, symptoms can worsen. Some healthcare professionals recommend an intake of 10,000 to 20,000 IU of vitamin D in chronic cases—under medical supervision, of course.
Good Allies to Combine with Vitamin D
For greater effectiveness, vitamin D is best combined with:
Vitamin K2: It directs calcium to the bones and prevents it from accumulating in soft tissues. Magnesium: It supports the action of vitamin D and limits excess calcium.
These three elements form an essential trio for maintaining the body’s balance.
