The Milwaukee Journal once again reported on the link between heart disease and vitamin D deficiency. Wisconsin residents (Northerners) need to supplement their intake of Vitamin D with pills from October through March. People who got increased levels of sun exposure or Vitamin D supplements had a better chance of surviving various cancers than those who got limited sun exposure. The article says you should increase vitamin D supplements during the winter but unless you are in the sun everyday during the other months of the year, then you should continue taking vitamin D throughout the year. Tim and I take two 1000 IU softgel tablets a day. Tim will increase to 3 a day during the winter. You can overdose on Vitamin D so don't go over 2000 IU a day unless you are under doctor's orders.
