TAKE YOUR VITAMIN D! You need it!

Believe it or not, lack of Vitamin D can make you DEPRESSED!

I went to the Dr. and my levels were so low, that my

Dr. actually placed me on 50,000 UI of Vitamin D!

Normal intake for an adult is 400 UI. She is trying to give me

a boost and then make sure I take a regular amount daily.

Depression, weakness, muscle pain, lack of concentration (BRAIN FOG)

is what you will expierence. I most certainly did! I am to take

the 50K for 5 days, today is day 4. Tomorrow I take it again...

and within 30 days I should be back to NORMAL levels of Vitamin D

in my system! Vitamin D3 is what is needed/being used.

Research this yourself. You will see this is a very important Vitamin...

If you are not get sunshine daily for say 15 min...you need

to be checked my friend! BTW I am on DAY 29!!!

1 Month is tomorrow! I am sure since I stopped smoking the

weakness and problems are now highlighted, but now I know...

and education is what will get you thru anything!...

Pls TAKE your vitamins!!!! Vitamin D3 and Calcium -

Especially us women-TAKE HEED!!!

Yes. Vitamin D is essential. Wow, you were really in need of it too. I bet your feeling alot better now. Do you have places there that have tanning beds? You can also get you D Vitamin absorbed my the sun. I don't care to be tan, but I will go twice a month because of vitamin D reasons.

Vitamin D3 comes in pills or capsule!

Can you take vit D as a capsule?

I never knew there was a supplement for it

The Vitamin D3 that I take , the pill or capsule is so tiny!

You can get @ your local Pharmacy ...it is a over the counter product!

No RX required!

We have CostCo here, so a bottle of 300 count, cost me like $8.00

I got Vitamin D3 5000. So I had to take 10 pills to make it 50K UI

Now on Friday, I will only take 1 pill. For Adults, we only need 400 UI.

But I have them, so I will take them.

Pls take your Vitamin D3..take your Calcium!

I'm in england hun. I will certainly have a look for some vitamin d capsules. We have boots, which I suppose will be like a drugstore to americans, sells cosmetics toiletries and has a pharmacy? So I will go there.

Thanks for this :) will be a help in these winter months!

I take 1800UI ish Vitamin D every day, less in the summer as it helps my skin.

There's growing research that most people need more and the RDA should be increased simply 'cos we're spending far less time in the sun than we should.
