Vitamin D deficiency supposedly common

Huge rise in vitamin D testing is not making us healthier

The calcium supplements that I was recommended by both Orthopedic surgeon , physio and chemist was caltrate with vitamin D.

Yep and some of us don't produce it sufficiently in our livers even with adequate sun exposure, intake and supplementation

I'm currently on 3 x ostelin tabs at 1000 units each because taking two daily for 6 months did not raise my levels at all.
Still well below normal

Yeah... My Vit D where a bit low in my last blood test... Keeping in mind that it is winter atm... And I spend far to much time in the sun during the summer....

Doctor reckons that the ongoing battle against skin cancer to slip slop slap is leading to a whole generation of peeps deficient in Vitamin D which will show up later in life as weak bones...

Muslims wearing hijabs would obviously be affected by Vitamin D deficiency...

Definitely.

My exs sister is a large woman and would be lucky to get out of the house 1-2 times a year. She lives in the loungeroom and is extremely moody. Apparently Vit D, can affect immune system and your mood and plenty of other things.
