Vitamin D and it's importance

[Jmuls]

Here's a great video that I strongly recommend everyone watch who's not aware of the importance of monitoring your serum D levels and supplementing with D-3 to bring them up to a healthy range. Lot's of very valuable info here.

Are you guys using regular VIT D or VITAMN D3?

The two forms are vitamin D2 (or ergocalciferol), which is derived from plants, or vitamin D3 (or cholecalciferol), which is naturally occuring in the body. D2 is only available by way of a prescription, but why would anyone want to put a plant based variety in there body, when there's a natural variety that our body is already use to, is beyond me! D3 all the way!

Good goal trying to get your levels up there. That will do your health a world of good bro.

That's just it though, everyone is truly different. Vitamin D isn't a vitamin, it's hormone. So it's imperative that you get your serum levels tested to ensure the dose you're supplementing with is adequate for you. 4000iu may do well by me, but may only bump you up a few ng/dl.
