Winter blues, weak bones, pain?

For 35 cents a day you’ll improve your immune system, brain, mood, even autoimmune conditions.

 Vitamin D.

Quickie facts:

• Keep your blood levels above 50 nanograms per milliliter (Ideal range 50-80 ng/ml)
• More than 3/4 of all US teens and adults fall below 30 ng/ml
• The government RDA is 400 IU, this is way too low!
• Most adults need to supplement 2,000 – 5,000IU per day.
• Get your doctor to test you or order your own Vitamin D3 test. 
• Milk is not the answer to Vitamin D!
  • For example, a glass of milk has only 100 IU Vitamin D3, you would need to drink 40 glasses of milk to get the recommended amount.
• Take Vitamin K2 along with D3!

  Vitamin D is critical!

It is the sunshine vitamin, and the best way to have adequate Vitamin D is to be out in the sun (without sunscreen) for 20 minutes a day.

This is a simplistic view because there are several factors at play like skin color, geographical location, age, and time of year.

You will find Vitamin D in salmon (530 IU) and cod liver oil (400 IU/tsp) with lesser amounts in the fat of grass-fed animals, organ meat, pasture-raised chickens and eggs.
