Why a Group?

when i found out my vitamin D levels were low, i started searching the forum for threads on vitamin D.  there were lots of people sharing experiences and help...i have contacted individual members and asked for feedback but thought it would be helpful to have resources in one spot!  i also would love to hear how others are doing with this!

    how many drops do you take a day bc each one is 1000IU?

  • Michaela May 13, 2013 at 1:24pm

    Im going to get my levels checked, I don't know if my doctor will do the right test though. is the 25(OH)D test the one MD's do? also are Ddrops good? these are the ones I want to take since I cant really swallow pills and they seem good. also Don, why do you take a multivitamin?

    Sundried mushrooms from wild collection help to get more vitamin d, especially Chanterelle and Porcini.

    whats the best way to get vitamin D in the winter?? tanning bed? supplement? artificial lights? mushrooms? and if you live in a cold climate should you have a vitD supplement, whatever it is, for just the winter and rely on the sun during the warm months or just take it all the time?
