A good exercise in trying to expand on a simple topic but then narrow it down again. the recommendations for most medical things always seem so simplified, but we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg that led to the guideline! Thank you for a good history and explanation of the many gears in motion. I’ll get a little Sun, maybe take some vit d a couple times a week, and not stress or expect too much from it!
Thank you - this helps for me at an age when I feel frailer, am becoming shorter in height, am less able to exercise, and am not likely to sit out in the sun much.
In my youth growing up in Wisconsin, parents gave us kids cod liver oil daily in the winter, which we hated but took because we had no choice in the matter. But now at 72 years old my bone density scans are still in the normal range as are my sisters.
The great Vitamin D paradox.

And I do take calcium/Vit D 800 mg daily.
Here's an article I just read on vitamin D that you may find interesting. - https://www.peoplespharmacy.com/articles/too-little-vitamin-d-could-be-deadly?utm_source=The%20People%27s%20Pharmacy%20Newsletter&utm_campaign=f6c2caea6b-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2022_12_09_04_30&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_7300006d3c-f6c2caea6b-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D
Also after reading your article, I switched from 2000 iu to 1000 - couldn't find 800. Happy to renew for the year.
