low vit D3 levels are common sense Lack of sunlight on your skin in the peak hours of the day between 10 am and 3 pm summertime hours
working inside with a window open and sunlight in does NO good, also foods low in vitamin D under 30 is deficient and you are at 18? way low
on a sunny summer day with 40% of your body exposed and a nice afternoon walk you can get up to 40,000 IU into your system and have no ill effects for this person to tell you NOT to start with 6000 IU per day is bad
it will not hurt you have you ever gotten sick from a day out for a walk in the sun??? NO
unless you are going to drink 11 gallons of milk a day you are not getting your vitamin d3
here are some foods that contain some vitamin d3
