For individuals aged 50 and older, how much Vitamin D is recommended daily?

400-600 IU
800-1000 IU
2000-2500 IU
500-700 IU

The correct answer is: 800-1000 IU

For individuals aged 50 and older, the recommended daily intake of Vitamin D is 800-1000 IU. This higher dosage is advised for this age group as they may have a decreased ability to synthesize Vitamin D from sunlight and may also have a higher risk of conditions such as osteoporosis. Adequate Vitamin D intake is essential for maintaining bone health, muscle strength, and overall immune function in older adults. Options A, C, and D provide either lower or higher Vitamin D dosage recommendations than what is deemed suitable for individuals aged 50 and older.
