Lightbulb Vit D is made in the skin

from a cholesterol precursor. I wouldn't expect that to work properly if you take
statins to lower cholesterol.
It is thought that as we age the skin synthesis may fail, like many other things do. (ie. retire).

The 50,000IU RX the doctor gives (the green football cap) is D2 and not as effective.
Doctors don't seem to understand the difference yet (if ever)
