What is the best natural source apart from sunshine to help keep vitamin d levels up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Meat protein: Vitamin d is really a hormone and as you say, we were designed to live under the sun. It is poorly absorbed by mouth but the best way to keep it up is with a supplement of vitamin d3. Ask your doc re dose.
