MISC: Vitamin D3 information

[Guest guest]

there is a lot of new information on Vitamin D3 and the need for much

higher amounts. Amounts at end of email

Should really be tested if taking for a while

If it is very sunny, don't need to supplement ............that's why we

see less illness in the summer (and large amount of body exposed to the

sun)

20 minutes in midday sun with 40% of body exposure will give you

about 5-10,000IU

...........
