Re: Re: vitamins again.... - Vitamin D

[Guest guest]

I have that Sun-Sat pill thingy too.... but I was putting too many things in

there to make it pallatable to do daily.  Maybe I'll revisit the pill box and

mix up the number of things I put in each day.

I read about Vitamin D in Reader's Digest - to boost via Vitamins if

you don't get a lot of sun. I can't handle the sun, so chose the

Vitamins... But I was never good at taking pills regularly... Then my

PCP asked that I take a Calcium w/ Vitamin D pill instead - so I did.

Also started Omega 3 b/c read that it lowers cholesterol. Along w/ a

daily multi-vitamin. And I went ahead and bought a daily pill box -

you know, the Sunday - Sat. pill box... Now I take my daily pills

daily finally... I guess it's making me healthier - who

knows...

Here's the Vitamin D article from RD:

about the daily dose of Vitamin D for children being increased from

200 units to 400 units (is it mcg?) through adolesence.  They say

that the increase will help stave off rickets and other diseases.
