Guest guest Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Nope, not enough in sunlight, although that has been the " fantasy " that has been fed us by docs and health gurus for years. And with the stuff they're spraying up in the sky, we get even less <G>. I'm wiling to bet that most people are low D and it's been interesting to watch the " D " bandwagon. Another thing to be aware of Is that D and A are antagonists (I'm sure there's a better word) - probably they hit the same receptor sites so whatever you take in a combined form is not getting there (in your multis or an A & D pill) - Because it's a fat soluble vite, (actually a hormone) if you are chronically low fat in your diet there could be some issues. The best form to take, as a supplement is D3, and I take it in a dry form. I actually take a lot (when I remember to take it) because of my gastric bypass surgery. The old standards (just enough to prevent rickets) are waaaay too low. Lots of research out on this. Another problem is that some people have problems converting D2 to D3 (D2 is the precursor) - Pam Reply-To: <sproutpeople > Date: Sunday, April 29, 2012 4:51 PM To: Subject: Free Kindle ebook on vitamin D > > > > > > > A few weeks ago I went to the doctor to have my vitamin B12 level checked > since I am vegan and wanted to find out.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 My husband Alan takes 50,000 Vitamin D every week. He had to get a presrcription because his 25 hydroxy test revealed his levels were so low. He's had them checked recently and he's doing much better. He is disabled and doesn't get out much so thankfully this prescription has raised his levels. Melody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
