Make No Bones About It: We Need Vitamin D!

Motivation Monday: Spend More Time in the Sun!

Ask yourself this question: Do I spend 30 minutes of my day in the sunlight?

If the answer was "no", try spending more time outside this week! A key nutrient for our body, Vitamin D, is naturally absorbed in our body when we spend time in the sun. In fact, according to healthline, our body absorbs Vitamin D when we are exposed to sunlight, with as little as 10 minutes of exposure at a time . So what happens if I can't get outside every day?

Supplementation: NutriDyn Vitamin D3 5000 w/K2

NutryiDyn produces premium products including a Vitamin D supplement that can be used to help us get enough daily Vitamin D, especially if we aren't able to "soak up the sun" every day.

I personally take one of these capsules daily to help me reach my Vitamin D levels and keep my body feeling its best!

What's the Big Deal About Vitamin D?

Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin that give us many benefits including: building healthy bones, reducing inflammation, improving muscle function, & supporting our immune system. The RDI (recommended daily intake) is 800 IUs, but some research suggests that this is a minimal amount and up to 10,000 IUs may be tolerated. Talk to your healthcare provider to find out what is best for you!

The Final Score

Vitamin D is an important vitamin that our body needs to function at its best. Spend more time outside or talk to your healthcare provider about supplementing with Vitamin D!
