Yes, it's still about Vitamin D.
Talitha and I both tested low at the end of last winter despite taking 2,000 to 3,000 IU's daily. From summer sun exposure and taking 6,000 to 8,000 IU's on no sun days we're close, but still not quite to the optimum level of 70. Maintenance levels for most adults are 4,000 IU's daily and 2,000 IU's for children over one. If you test low, it may take more to fill your vitamin D tank. What does it do? Reduces your risk of death from all causes - helps prevent cancers, flu, heart disease, diabetes, good for bone and muscle health - and helps keep you healthy and happy.
