I started taking supplements last winter and it has really improved my mood and overall health. I would like to add that "fortified" foods with vitamin d are not always the best practice. I have found that many fresh foods have traces of vitamin d, but we are still not getting enough form our diets. This is the one supplement we need. My kids readily take the liquid drops daily while my wife and I a pill once a week that contains 50,000 IU of vitamin d. Both can be found at Avante Medical Center on Northern Lights Blvd. I appreciate the topic tonight as I agree most of us, especially Alaskans, do not realize how vitamin D deficient we are.

It has 500 units of Vitamin D per chew. It suggests that you chew two per day. Is this a good source of Vitamin D. Also, is there something that we might eat that prevents Vitamin D from being absorbed? Sorry to pepper you with questions, but I take a product called Viactiv for bone health.
