Vit D - are you deficient?

Have you been told you are deficient in Vitamin D? 
​A recent study found that approximately 40% of Americans were deficient in vitamin D. The same study found that vitamin D deficiency is becoming more common in people younger than age 65. The hypothesis for why younger people are more prone to vitamin D deficiency is that they spend a lot on computers, gaming devices, and big-screen television. The primary source of vitamin D is sunlight converted by the body into vitamin D. 

Our bodies don’t naturally produce Vitamin D3 unless our skin is exposed to sunlight. The more time we spend indoors, the more we see blue light than Vitamin D producing sunlight.
Vitamin D3, or the sunshine vitamin, is key in supporting healthy bones & normal immune function.
Vitamin K2 works with Vitamin D3 and supports calcium absorption and distribution. Get 100% of the daily recommended amount of Vitamin D per serving, in this tasty pineapple-flavored formula.

Types of Vitamin D
There are two primary forms of vitamin D, including vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol). Small amounts of vitamin D2 are found in plant/fungus-derived foods such as certain types of mushrooms. D3 is found in small quantities in animal foods such as fish liver. However, vitamin D3 is produced by the skin when exposed to sunlight (ultraviolet B radiation). The liver and kidneys can then act on both forms to make the activated form that binds with cell receptors.
Supplemental vitamin D is available in the D2 and D3 forms. There has been debate whether these two compounds have similar benefits. However, a recent review of trials found reduced cancer mortality only with D3 supplementation, not with D2 supplementation. Another recent study found that D3 supplementation was superior to D2 in elevating blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, the major circulating form of vitamin D.
