Vitamin D deficiency Article

Here is an article on how prevalent vitamin D deficiency is in the world today-

University of California - Riverside (2010, July 19). More than half the world's population gets insufficient vitamin D, says biochemist. ScienceDaily. Retrieved August 10, 2010, from http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/07/100715172042.htm

The best sources of vitamin D are oily fish such as salmon, Cod liver oil, Omega 3 Eggs and butter from grass fed cows. Vitamin D is also produced during sun exposure but unfortunately most people in the UK do not get enough of this.

You can easily get you vitamin D levels tested through in your blood. Make sure that the test is for 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels as this is the active form of the vitamin.
