so here i wanted to make a thread for vitamins,their usage and doses and effects/ precautions/contraindications. i will start off with vitamin D.
vitamin d ,the 'sunshine' vitamin is only produced in sufficient qualities
"Caucasians and others with paler skin will hit an "equilibrium point" after about 20 minutes of exposure to UVB light, at which point vitamin D will no longer be produced. ..If you have darker skin, reaching this equilibrium point can take two to six times longer (or up to an hour or two), depending on your pigmentation."
it has also been found to reduce premature births by up to by half.

Vitamin D Found To Stimulate A Protein That Inhibits The Growth Of Breast Cancer Cells

general info on vitamin D and calcium absorbtion; warnings on too much calcium absorbtion and i.u. recommendations.

so it would stand to reason,if you are taking calcium suppliments for your Pm to work better,than vitamin d is 'the assistant to the assistant' so to speak.
as i see it, the pros outweigh the cons, with this vitamin.
to note: recommended doses vary from website to website. please fee free to add to/comment regarding this thread
