Vitamin D & Cod Liver Oil

Did you know that most people are deficient in Vitamin D? It's true, and it's not good. There is tons of evidence that Vitamin D supplementation can help in the prevention of cancer, improve bone health and many other benefits. Click here to learn more.

According to the reading I've done you should be consuming at least 1000 IU per day and no more than 2000 IU. If you spend lots of time in the sun you may not need supplementation because that is where we get a lot of our Vitamin D needs. Your body synthesizes Vitamin D from sun exposure. The problem is that we don't get much sun in general, particularly in the winter months. And during the summer we're told to cover up! Most food doesn't have much Vitamin D, with the notable exception of Cod Liver Oil (which I take for it's many benefits).

I recommend the following Vitamin D supplement: Source Naturals Vit D 400 IU, 200 tablets

I also recommend this Cod Liver Oil (it really doesn't taste bad! Very lemony!): Carlson Laboratories - Norwegian Cod Liver Oil - Lemon, 16.8 fl oz

Cod Liver Oil is rich in Omega-3's and Vitamin D. I don't need to tell you how amazing Omega-3's are, it's all over the news. Just fantastic.

Just add up the Vitamin D content in the Cod Liver Oil and the supplement and get it between 1000 and 2000 IU's. Go for the higher end in the winter months when you have less sun exposure.
