Vitamin D... I'm finally clear!!

Vitamin D is measured in IU's not mg's.   I think 1400 IU is a pretty low dose.   I try to take 6000 IU during the summer and bump it up to 8,000 IU during winter. I don't get very much sun ...

Vitamin D... I'm finally clear!!

That is not that much. You are hardly taking any at all. Like I said, you can get thousands of IU's from the sun in just 10-15 minutes. Since I don't get much sun at all (especially in the winter) I t...
