My first post Vitamin D3 or Disease, Disability and Death! needs an update! So here it is -
Over the last 3 year since the first post, there has been such a tremendous outburst of Vitamin D news that its now on Mainstream too. Which is all very good for the people. However, this could also lead to more questions, more doubts and a need for the easiest way to understand without medical jargon. This update is an attempt to keep it simple-
Lets start with this short video:
To recap, Vitamin D is more of a hormone than a vitamin and is freely available from the sun! However if people in most countries were to look up in the sky, they will notice the sky is mostly overcast or the sun's rays do not seem to be as strong as it used to be! Additionally, very few of us if any, would go out in the sun with our body exposed between 10am and 3pm! Except perhaps those who are lounging by the beach! Even there, use of suntan lotions and sunglasses limit the sun's rays from properly penetrating the skin. And there is the fear of melanoma too! So what does one do??
Well, here comes Vitamin D3, a natural supplement to the rescue! I heard that the levels and dosage talked about now has gone up to 100 ng/ml and 8000 IU/day! Uh-uh...there comes the technical terms...to make it look formidable and a barrier to entry for most laymen. Not to worry...its easily explained. Just watch Dr Mercola's video that clears the air on all that is to know about Vitamin D.
I have tried to keep my level around and beyond 100 ng/ml and that has helped me tremendously.
Lately I have added MSM to the list of natural supplements....I urge you to watch another interview of Dr Mercola with Dr Stefanie....on the benefits of Sulphur!
