Yes -- thanks, BDD.
Another excellent problem NOT to have is osteoporosis! This potentially crippling condition isn't restricted to little old ladies; it can be "enjoyed" by men, too... And you also needn't be elderly. Calcium is a key nutrient for bone health for everyone... and Vitamin D is part of the calcium equation.
I've updated my forum signature with a PSA which many of you have seen before. The calcium in your diet can't be properly metabolized if you're low in Vitamin D, and D deficiency is
alarmingly common!
Definitions of "deficiency" vary, but Wikepedia
notes that, "As of 2011 most reference labs used the 30 ng/mL standard" -- and, if 30 ng/mL is the threshold, then
69% to 77% of the US population is deficient.
This is a good time of year to be mindful of Vitamin D, as reduced sunshine (at least in the northern hemisphere) tends to aggravate the already serious dietary situation. I myself take a D supplement year round; also K2, as it plays a related role. For this reason, tablets containing
both D and K2 have in recent years begun to appear more commonly, for example on the shelves of supermarkets.
