Yes, Uny, the kidneys are involved...Re: D3 Deficient This Time of Year?

...in Vitamin D production.

Here's a little chart I found:

How our bodies convert sunlight into Vitaminj D- image by www.healthyfellow.com

So you can see that the liver converts sunlight into usable Vitamin D and stores it there for future use. The kidneys balance calcium. As Uny mentioned, in order for Vitamin D to be assimilated properly, our livers and kidneys must be in good shape. So it all works together.

Oh- you *can* get Vitamin D3 from, in particular, fish oil and salmon. Please do your research. Schulze, Christopher, and so many other great natural healers are/have been adament vegetarians, and as Uny listed, there are effective plant sources for dietary Vitamin D.

Sometimes I just stand amazed at how beautifully designed our bodies are...
