Vitamin D Deficiency

[kmguru]

I thought 1000 IU was plenty: It's stored in your fat tissue, right?

But if you are not getting enough from the sunshine, it is hard to get it. Think about it. When my body was in college, I got 4 hours of sunshine a day. Now, it is just partial when driving to work, that too filtered by the windows. Only weekends I get a little in the back yard.

So, for years I was in a deficit mode. I plan to go see an endocrinologist one of these days to check all my hormone and Vit levels....

Good idea. Did you read the earlier posts? mine was 8. normal is between 30 - 80. i'm on high dose for 2 months. the only thing i felt was muscle aches and tired. but i attributed that to aging..

Six months ago, I had minor cognitive deficiency, - like forgetting things. I attributed that to age. But after I was on Vitamin D, in about two months, I was able to recall data I read on a web page after a few hours while talking about it to friends on the phone. Today, I can say, that my complex systems thinking is sharp and numbers stand out clearly from books or web sites.

I am happy.

Look for Vitamin D at this site, a lot of good information.

I take 4000 IU oral a day in winter and 2000 IU in summer.

Great site. Dr Mercola was the person who first got me interested in integrative health.

On the downside, he tries to sell you a lot shit and some of his ideas stretch the science a little bit..

Like everything else in life, you have to be an intelligent well-informed shopper.....
