Re: My Iodine Update

Oh boy, vit D is controversy itself, agreed. Individuality clearly plays a role in this. Again, DH is one example. He does hour-long runs in full sun whenever he can. He absolutely craves sunlight. He took 2000 iu vit D in addition to these runs during the summertime, in Texas, and we thought we were being very daring to add on another 1000 iu during the winter. We finally tested him one year at the end of August, when he couldn't have been more sun-sufficient. He was barely into the lowest range of vit D. And we've been supplementing more strongly ever since, year-round.

So in my opinion, should you take your cod liver oil? Absolutely. As long as it feels right to you. At some point when you feel most vit D sufficient, you might consider getting tested to put your mind to rest about combining summer sun and cod liver oil.
