Vitamin D seems to be the current next big
thing in medicine right noweveryone is either
taking it or being told they should be taking it.
But why?
We know it regulates calcium metabolism in the
body and we can get it from sunlight. You may
even remember from health class that Vitamin D
deficiency is responsible for rickets in children
and osteoporosis in older adults. Not so well
known about Vitamin D, is that it seems to be
important to the immune system and might be a
factor in inflammatory conditions such as heart
disease, diabetes, cancer, fatigue, depression,
chronic pain, and autoimmune diseases as well.

Vitamin D is one of the fat-soluble vitamins, so
it is possible to get too much as well as too
little. Sunlight converts the vitamin D in
foods and supplements to vitamin D3, the form
that the body needs. Spending 10-15 minutes with
40 of your skin exposed to the early morning
sunlight without sunscreen is the most natural
way to obtain your daily Vitamin D supplement.
But getting a sunburn is not a good idea, so be
careful to monitor your daily sun exposure.

Certain kinds of fish(herring, sardines,
mackerel, and salmon), cod liver oil, and egg
yolk are the primary natural food sources of
vitamin D. Other foods have been fortified with
vitamin D, such as orange juice, milk, and
breakfa cereals. If you are going to take
Vitamin D in a supplement, a reasonable dose is
2000 IU per day. You should take it with food
that has some fat to help it absorb better. Also,
it's best taken in the morning because it
temporarily pauses the production of Melatonin,
the sleep hormone, so it could interfere with
sleep if taken at night.
