Interesting post. I had to request my doc add vit D to some labs, I could feel her eyes rolling thru the phone. Got lab results back but no vitD. Humm, there was, however, a calcium included to fulfill a routine “fractured bone” from fall. I tripped wearing new walking shoe rubber toe caught on wood flooring. Airborne...broke knee. As a long believer in healthy lifestyle, I knew if bones were weak I would have multiple breaks from that launch/impact. So again I am calling to get another lab for vit D. I told doc I need to know level because I take it daily as recommended with zinc, Quercetin, etc for last 3 yrs. Especially, even tho I live in sunny California I have been indoors more after surgery.
Thanks for article, I plan to share with friends who are resistant to supplements as well as my doc if she rolls her eyes again.
Wow....alarming statistics! Are those who live in sunshine states and southern countries with natural vitamin D from the sun less depressed? I live up north and purchased Happy Lamps for my depressed friends! 😊
