2 years ago my Nurse Practitioner discovered through a simple blood test that I was Vitamin D deficient. She told me to take 800 Units of it daily through supplements. Recently she has upped the dosage to 2000 Units, due to the governments new guidelines that will be coming out either later this year or early next year.


As most people don't get enough sunlight, because of fears on Melanoma, and Vitamin D from sunlight has to be processed through the eyes in order to be affective, it may be prudent to have the simple blood test to see if you are deficient, and start on supplements.

Just a thought......
