Up to 70% of Americans are deficient, and it's worse in winter.
THE VITAMIN D PROBLEM
You can't get enough from food. Sunlight helps, but:
• Winter sun is too weak (October–March in most of the US)
• We wear sunscreen (necessary for skin cancer prevention)
• We work indoors
• Our bodies produce less as we age
OPTIMAL LEVELS MATTER
Most labs say "normal" is anything above 30 ng/mL. But for optimal health, , we want 50–80 ng/mL.
HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED?
This depends on your current level, but most women need:
• Maintenance: 1,000–5,000 IU daily
• Deficiency correction: 5,000–10,000 IU daily (temporarily)
What to look for:
• Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)—NOT D2
• Third-party tested for purity
• No unnecessary fillers
• Appropriate dose (1,000–5,000 IU per capsule)
