One of the most negleted vitamins.

Vitamin D/D-3 prevents 16 types of cancers and is responsible for other processes of the body including muscle tone, which affects incontinence (loss of bladder control) and processes other vitamins in the body needed for such things as depression.

The northern lattitudes are known as the cancer belt for a reason where long periods of extended darkness in the fall and winter deprive us of this vitamin synthesized in the skin from sunlight.

Blacks and hispanics of dark skin in northern lattitudes need more vitamin D/D-3

The vitamin D derrived from milk is a very poor source. It is derrived from liquified sheepskin and sold back to the commercial dairies as an additive.
Not only that, it would take 20 glasses of milk to equal what you can make on your own in the sunlight in about a half-hour.

Your best source for vitamin D-3/D is first, in the spring in summer to get 20 minutes of 50% full exposure to the sun where it can be synthesized in the skin. In the fall in winter you need to supplement with the dry form.

A minumum of 1000 I.U. is needed and up to 4000 I.U./day.
