Did you know that vitamin D is most powerful vitamin for our body? it help with absorption of calcium, Boost immune function, reduce inflammation, promote healthy neuro-muscular function, prevent some forms of cancer and the common colds. We usually acquire vitamin D from the sun. But due to the concern of skin cancer doctors have advice their patient to wear sunscreen lotion for protection. This prevents our body from absorbing vitamin D the way Mother Nature intended.

How To Get Your Daily Vitamin D

You can get your vitamin D from the sun without wearing sunscreen if you spend at least 20 in the sun during the hours of 10 A.M.-2:00 P.M when the UVB rays are high which is what's needed for good dose of vitamin D at 1,000 I.U. (International Units) per minutes and UVA rays is low (which can be damaging to the skin). Just don't stay out longer than that and or try to get a sun tan and you'll be fine. Or you can take a daily supplement of vitamin D3.

Get Your Vitamin Level Tested

Have your physician administer a 25-hydroxyvitamin test (25-OH vit D test) done to determine if you have optimal levels of Vitamin D in your blood. I have found out about 80 percent of population are deficiency in vitamin D I happen to be one of them As a result I was advise to take 140,000 I.U daily to bring my vitamin D up to normal level. Avoid regular Vitamin D and D2, which does nothing for the body. Also avoid taking Pharmaceutical prescription vitamin D, which are synthetic and may increase your risk of (hypercalcemia) a condition that causes other disease to develop. Make sure that you take the vitamin (D3) because they are more natural and friendly to the body.
