    Skull Preventing vitamin D deficiency

    So as you all know we keep odd hours. I pick him up @ 730 am for work and we sleep during the day. We have our windows covered with dark sheets so the light doesn't disturb us. I don't want to get a vitamin D deficiency because we never see the sun. Any ideas esp from fellow night owls?

    I've been worried about this too & started taking vitamin D supplements months ago, just in case lol.

    I have read that cod liver oil is also another source of vitamin D & some foods are also higher in vitamin D than others i.e. Fish, Liver, Eggs, Milk/other dairy products, Margarine, Mushrooms & some cereals even contain it etc.

    actually you get something like 20,000 iu's from 20 minutes of sunshine, so you should be aiming for 20,000 iu's a day. So if you can find D3 pills that are in 2,000 or 5,000 iu measurements and then take a few twice a day, you should be good to go.

    anyone know if tanning beds actually synthesize D3 in the body? I know that's a little off topic, and I don't think it does, but I don't know one way or another.

    D3 is a favorite supplement of mine though.

    I asked my fiance to please pick up some some D3. He looks at me with those big blue eyes and says "Diablo 3 isn't out yet." -_- Fucking gamers. I love this boy!

    That's just adorable. I remember when Diablo first came out. My then fiance (now husband) was temporarily out of work. He channeled his anxiety through Diablo. I remember coming home after work and he would be playing in the dark and he would say, "Hello baby, I'm killing things"

    But vitamin D. My husband was diagnosed with a deficiency earlier this year. He got prescription strength Vit D. And he sees the sun sometimes. I would take twice the recommended amount if I were you.

    I think your question is well within the scope of discussion. Afterall we are discussing the Vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is a result of synthetic reaction when our skin comes in contact with UV light. The Sun is a natural source of UV light. However, there are artificial source of UV light (special light bulbs) that are used in clinics to treat Vitamin D deficiency. The treatment dose is a 20-minute spell per day.
