Vitamin D Is Essential During The Menopause

Vitamin D is essential during the menopause as with calcium and magnesium, it prevents osteoporosis and controls weight gain. The best and most enjoyable way to get vitamin D is by spending some time in the sun. For most of us in the northern hemisphere, that is not a practical option in the winter.

I was talking to a pathologist the other day, and he said that of all the tests he did, the vitamin D test was almost always deficient in most people and he couldn't understand why it was not prescribed more often by doctors.

It's quite difficult to get vitamin D from the diet - oily fish is almost the only real(significant) dietary source.An easy and efficient way to supplement is to use in spray form. It's amazing how much this underrated vitamin helps to regulate hormones, build bones, protect from diabetes, lift mood, improve skin and a whole host of other things...
