I keep reading more and more about the importance of Vitamin D and how deficient we are as Americans. I’m seeing staggering statistics like 3 out of 4 Americans are deficient in Vitamin D and I’m chilled to the bone because I know that a D deficiency can lead to diseases and/or can make existing conditions that Americans are faced with today, worse.

Just spend a half hour a day in the sun and your body will manufacture in excess of 10,000 iu’s of D3 all by itself. I personally make sure I get 5,000 iu’s of D3 a day. I also make sure I get some sunshine every day. It is good for you and doesn’t cost anything. And I skip the sunscreen. Besides being toxic to the body, it hinders the body’s ability to produce D3.
