botiss biomaterials, the international expert in bone and soft tissue regeneration, offers botissCARE as a convenient chairside solution for measuring vitamin D levels, as well as an easily administered and effectively absorbed vitamin D3+K2 spray to prevent deficiency.

Vitamin D is primarily synthesised in the skin when exposed to UV-B sunlight and, to a lesser extent, absorbed through food. Unfortunately, factors such as increased screen time, indoor activities, sun protection measures during summer, and the low position of the sun in winter have contributed to vitamin D deficiency in approximately 53% of Europeans.

For analysing vitamin D levels directly in the dental practice, botiss offers the botissCARE Cube Reader. In combination with the reliable 'botissCARE Vitamin D Test', the vitamin D level can be accurately determined within 15 minutes.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) recommends a daily vitamin D dose between 400 and 4000 IU/day. However, even with daily doses above 2,000 IU of vitamin D, the otherwise positive effects of vitamin D on calcium incorporation into bones and the removal of calcified plaques from blood vessels can be reversed.
