Should We Change Our Approach to Vitamin D Supplementation?

I'm beginning to change my mind on Vitamin D supplementation (and excessive supplementation in general)...

Just like depression is not an anti-depressant deficiency, a Vitamin D deficiency is not a Vitamin D supplement deficiency.

For years I have been recommending testing and supplementing Vitamin D, and I have supplemented a combination of Vitamin D + K2 myself.

It has helped many people with their mood, immune function, energy production, and much more.

It can be helpful in the short term, but should anyone be supplementing Vitamin D forever?

Vitamin D is activated by UV-B rays from sunlight.

Important side note: Cholesterol is the building block for Vitamin D...so does it make sense for so many adults to be aiming for the lowest total cholesterol possible?

We've been brainwashed to believe that ultraviolet (UV) is dangerous in and of itself.

- Stay indoors they say...

- Cover every inch of skin with UV blocking clothes they say..

- Slather on SPF 1000000 sunscreen at the slightest hint of sun in the sky they say...

Why would humans evolve with this fatal flaw?

Or is it a design feature?

We were meant to get SUFFICIENT sunlight at the appropriate times to make appropriate levels of Vitamin D.

The sad thing is most of us have lost our tolerance to sun because we are stuck indoors with junk (artificial) light, eat too much harmful fats from highly processed seed oils, and generally have lost touch with the natural rhythms of night and day.

Use Vitamin D supplementation as exactly that...a supplement, and start to engineer more of your life to make sunlight the main course.
