If you’re going to supplement vitamin D, don’t go crazy, and if you think you might need higher amounts, ask a doctor or dietitian about getting your serum levels checked! And as always, choose a third party tested supplement 🙂

Supplementing with amounts of 5000+ without documented deficiency can lead to vitamin D levels that are TOO high, which comes with its own host of issues - the most ironic being an increased risk of bone fracture 🫤

Without testing serum levels, I generally recommend sticking with 1000-2000 IU/day supplementation. I really wouldn’t advise doing higher amounts like 5000+ IU/day unless there are many extenuating circumstances (aversion to dairy, limited exposure to UV, history of stress fractures, etc.)

Friendly winter-months reminder that many people don’t get enough vitamin D in their diet, and it can generally be beneficial to supplement.

Even friendlier winter-months reminder that you can absolutely overdo it with vitamin D supplementation ⚠️🧵

Buy Now on Netflix is the most disturbing, yet not surprising, thing I have ever watched. We are truly living in The Lorax. 🆘

You should really not be drinking raw milk, like, ever…but you should DEFINITELY not make your children and infants drink raw milk…and you should SUPER-DUPER not do any of these things when there is a H1N1 problem emerging and unpasteurized dairy is a source of infection 😵‍💫😮‍💨🫠
