Vitamin D for Menopausal Women in menopause
Synonyms: D3
Vitamin D (especially D3) is essential for calcium absorption, bone health, immunity, and mood. Although Malaysia is tropical, vitamin D deficiency is common because many Muslim women wear covering clothing, work indoors during daylight, and use sunscreen. Ministry of Health Malaysia CPG 2022 recommends 800-1000 IU daily minimum for postmenopause. Lichen-derived D3 is the fully halal option.
