      <description><![CDATA[Hello, Murray, 
Thank you for sharing your experience with vitamin D, indeed it's a vitamin many people may need during the colder months where we don't get much sunshine in Canada. Since vitamin D isn't water-soluble, high doses of vitamin D should be taken upon the advice of your health care practitioner, so we are happy to hear you're working with yours to monitor your levels. Since you've been enjoying our articles, we think you'd like our healthy recipe section too, feel free to check them out:

      <description><![CDATA[I have been taking 8000 iu of Vitamin D daily.  I have my levels tested regularly and this is how much it takes to keep me mid range of the recommended levels.  Due to the lack of sunshine in this country during the fall to spring Vitamin D is the one supplement we really can't do without.  Even my MD is now recognizing that 8000 is not too much.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Before 2020, I did not take a single vitamin/nutrient, but recently, I've learned the importance of natural supplements to support health, more specifically vitamin D. 

This research took me down quite the rabbit hole and culminated with finding this great site to satisfy my nutrient needs.

Why vitamin d is a great supplement for immune support, but often isn't talked about for this use. There are some studies I found online that show how vitamin D supports immune health which is great to know for cold and flu season and during this past 1.5 years. 

My daily regiment now includes:

5000-10000 vitamin d, magnesium, vitamin k, boron, taken together, 99mg potassium actually just added 2mg copper to this group.

30mg zinc, 500mg quercetin, 3000mg vitamin c and 350 mcg iodine, taken together

200mg CO Q-10, 20 mg PQQ, 8 compound vitamin e and 200 mcg Selenium, taken together.

Also fit in 2 600mg NAC, B complex and 5-10mg melatonin at bed

And take the magnesium, vitamin c and potassium 3 times a day.

Just learned this morning as well while researching kidney stones that I should be taking some vitamin A with my D and K :)]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello, 
  Vitamin D does play a pivotal role in our health and well-being. Many foods contain vitamin D, but many don't get enough from diet alone and often supplement, especially in places like Canada where we don't get a lot of sun for part of the year. Basking in the sun during the warmer months is another great way to absorb vitamin D; however this can also lead to sun damage on the skin if the UV is strong. Glad you enjoyed this article.

Stay healthy & well!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I try to take Vitamin D on the daily because I know how important it is for you! This article really highlighted some key facts as well as the importance of Vitamin D which I love. I also didn't realize you could get vitamin D from food sources (apart from milk), I was mostly under the impression it was from the sun so this is amazing to read! Thank you so much for sharing this article, it was very informative and a great reminder! I just took my Vitamin D supplement right now :D]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello Angela, 

Yes, sunshine in a bottle! Vitamin D supports many health concerns and can also enhance mood! It's a supplement many people, Canadians especially, benefit from. If you take a liquid form of vitamin D, you can take it under the tongue for optimal absorption ? 

Have a healthy day!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[We supplement with Vitamin D3, due to living in Canada and not being able to get enough from the sun, especially in the winter!  

This article reinforces the need for Vitamin D3 and it's interesting to learn a new word for Vitamin D2 = cholecalciferol!

Our doctor recommends 4000IU in the winter and 3000IU in the summer so it's great to read that health care practitioners are also recommending between 1000-4000IU/day.

We also take Vitamin D to help prevent cold/flu/viruses and strengthen the immune system.  However, did not know that it also helps with the heart/blood pressure and much more!]]></description>

C'est un excellent supplément pour les Canadiens toute l'année, mais surtout pendant les mois d'hiver mornes.

      <description><![CDATA[Pour mon épouse et moi, retraités depuis maintenant 5 ans, et dans le groupe d'âge des +65 ans, la vitamine D-3 est comme du soleil en capsules. Durant les mois d'hiver, notre dose est plus élevée que durant les mois où nous profitons plus du soleil extérieur. Cette vitamine fait partie de notre régime depuis de nombreuses années et se joint à d'autres éléments de notre plan de santé. Nous avons appris d'une source d'expérience que cette vitamine contribue à conserver notre santé.
