As I read the vitamin d supplements has more side effects....

I experienced them... Some side effects will take place progressively over several months..so it may more hard to notice.

Sun is vitamin d is best source ..moreover the sun has other benefits beside vitamin d.

IF you live far away from equator, I'm questionning if could store some vitamin d reserve to prevent a big drop in winter..like you are out in sun at least 1 hour daily during summer..... is it enough reserve for the winter?

Thank you to share.

therapeutic and maintenance dosages @ 34:00 followed by how D2 is just as effective as D3.

Help with Vit. D supplements--besides sunshine?

2011-09-16T13:29:31.000Z

Hello, Everyone! I was diagnosed with low Vitamin D. Big surprise--, right? Not really--arent' most people? This is my beginning readings cause basically just starting out--last month was first month. My level is 18.7 and Doc says s/b at least 30 or more. I am seeing on here the D3 is the better one, but D2 seems to be vegan. At the health food store they had one D3 from fish and one D3from sheep wool (lanolin). They mentioned the D2 that it was vegan. Well, I got the lanolin one cause I really don't want to consume anything from a fish. What are your thoughts? Sorry if this is mentioned somewhere and I didn't catch it. Thanks for your help in advance.

Also, I am working to stay out a little longer in the Florida sun--its been so hot and I have been suffering with dry skin due to iron deficient anemia--I just found out--but trying to do the 20 minutes daily. Also, making sure I get my quota of spinach and iron rich greens now. My B12 appears to be OK.

HOW much should we sunbathe and does it age us?

I'm just a little confused about it all!

I believe we are meant to be in the sun since we don't have fur

But how much is too much sun????
