Vitamin d from mushroom

[karch]

Hi All,

How effective is to get Vitamin D from Sun dried mushrooms? Any experience of curing Vitamin D deficiency with Mushroom? I read an article saying that Vitmain D2 from Mushroom is exactly not what our body needs when it is Vitamin D(D3) deficient.

Vitamin D is hugely important and is commonly deficient.

Buy it from the internet in D3 form.

I've used Healthy Origins D3 5,000iu for years as it appears to be the best value. I used to have to get it from the US, but it is available in the UK now.

You might find cheaper.

What are symptoms of vitamin-D deficiency?

And how about getting the same from cod liver oil...as it contains ogema -3 too.

Vit D3 is derivative of Cholesterol. This is effected by Sunlight. SO just with Sunlight we cannot get Vit D3. To get Vit D3 we need Cholesterol, Sunlight. In the absence of any one, Our skin cannot produce Vit D3.

More over, Vit D3 we make in our body is uniquely Sulphur bonded. In commercial Vit D3 (Only D2 is sold) there is no S bonding. Hence any commercial Vit d3 is waste of money and efforts.

The Best way to get Vit D3 is eat saturated fat; expose our body to sun 10.00am to 2.00 pm for just 15 mins a day.

Tanning of skin is a symptom of low cholesterol.
