We only make the active forms of Vitamin D through the months of May - October, even when it’s sunny outside. It’s really impossible to get all of the vitamin D that we need from food. Did you know that food sources generally only provide 5-10% of the daily vitamin D requirements?  You would have to eat almost 135 eggs to get 5,000 IU of vitamin D.  YIKES!

Healthy vitamin D levels are critical to overall health. Many studies show low vitamin D linked to multiple serious health problems. For example, poor bone health leading to brittle bones, a weakened immune system, increased risk of cancer and autoimmune conditions like multiple sclerosis, and reduced production of insulin leading to issues in regulating how the body deals with sugar metabolism.

So since getting enough Vitamin D from outside isn’t an option for most of us over the next few months, it is a good time to consider taking a supplement for it. 5000 international units a day is a good suggestion but the amount may vary person to person. You should take it with a fat source as Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin. Most of the supplements also have vitamin K which is also really good for absorption!

Let me know your favorite way to supplement Vitamin D!
