Gary……..in my December 2014 blood test, I was short on Vitamin D. That’s interesting because I take tons of vitamins daily. So I bought Twinlabs D3 “dots”……2,000 I.U. 2x a day gives me 4,000 I.U. per day. I’m due to have my blood done again next week. It’s possible I’m not absorbing the Vit D for some reason.
You guy might find this interesting. When I was living overseas, I discovered they don’t sell vitamins in Europe…..only herbs, etc. After about a year, I asked my friend to send a complete package of all the vitamins I asked him for. I had previously read somewhere that it takes 3-4 weeks before you feel the effect. Sure enough, at the end of 3 weeks I was noticeably feeling full of energy……I actually felt a difference in my body!
Early last year, I realized I wasn’t keeping up with my vitamin intake (life is too busy to remember to take vitamins even!). So I called Vitacost and ordered another batch of vitamins. I also started taking them at various times throughout the day so my body was constantly bombarded with nutrients. And I added 40 grams of protein from Optimum Nutrition protein powder daily.
Sure enough again…..same thing happened. After around a month, everything kicked in and I’m feeling energetic again.
Sometimes I think the cure-all of anything and everything is good nutrition.
I’ll see what’s going on with my Vit D absorption next week. Sometimes it could be as simple as that.
