Lack of Vitamin D could cause serious health problems, including osteoporosis, depression, anxiety, and cancer.

About Vitamin D:

  • Vitamin D does not penetrate glass, e.g. car windows. Note: While the good rays do not penetrate your car windows.  the wrinkle rays (UV) do.
  • Sunscreen blocks Vitamin D.
  • Vitamin D is not found in dairy products, only fortified dairy.
  • Vitamin D is rarely present naturally in food.
  • Overweight individuals manufacture less Vitamin D.
  • It is nearly impossible to get adequate amounts of vitamin D from your diet. You would have to drink ten glasses of vitamin D-fortified milk each day just to get 1000IU of vitamin D from your diet.
  • Chronic Vitamin D deficiency cannot be reversed overnight. It takes months of supplementation and sunlight exposure to rebuild the body’s bones and nervous system.
