With increasing age, it is difficult for the body to optimally absorb the required nutrients from food. Furthermore, loss of appetite is also a common problem among the geriatric population. Elderly people tend to suffer from vitamin D deficiency as they have low exposure to sunlight. Therefore, there is growing the dependence on vitamin D supplements among the geriatric population, especially in Asia. According to the Government of Alberta, people over 60 years of age accounted for 44% of the supplement consumption in Japan in 2011. Moreover, increasing healthcare costs are influencing consumers to shift to supplement products, including vitamin supplements.
