Vitamin D and Calcium supplements in women over 60.

[gwash]

I am following a WFPB diet for 3 months now. Am not taking any supplements other that Vit B12. I am 62 years old and live in Canada-
Am wondering whether I should be taking Vit D3 supps as our summers are so short. Don't travel south much to soak up the sun.
Will I be getting enough calcium?
I do not want osteoporosis.
Would love some advice.
Thanks

Have you had your Vit D levels tested? That would be the place to start.

No I haven't as this test is only indicated here in Canada when you are suspected to have certain diseases. I am a Physician and would like to get some input re this topic from other Physicians.
