Ok,, so as most of you know my vitamin D levels are not too good. I have considered taking supplements for it, but for some reason I do not feel right about it. So I got to searching around and ran across this article on why this guy does not supplement with it.

I also remember reading, I think it was Masterjohn, but not sure. He says we just dont know enough about supplementing to know whether it does more harm then good.
So, I plan on getting vitamin D the old fashion way. The sun. I will do as much as I can this season, and will ask my doctor to retest again when fall comes around to see how it went.
Another problem though. Jenn said that we need saturated fat in our skin to make vitamin D. Uggggggh. I have never heard this before, but, I imagine that I am still pretty replete with unsaturated. Does anyone think putting on coconut oil would actually help in making vitamin D?
