I take 5,000 IU of D-3 per day. A friend who is a Registered Dietician recommended this to me after I complained of hip pain after working out. All I know it that it worked! I take this on addition to my Omega 3 everyday.

Ditto. I started this after my annual physical several years ago revealed low vitamin D blood levels (that was the 1st year where my Internist began routinely including the Vit. D level test as part of the exam’s lab blood work. Upon retesting after several months my blood levels were up to where they should be.

It just so happens that that is my daily D3 intake as well.
So, did it do any good for your hip pain?
I think B-12 is the hot new necessary vitamin.
D-3 is the key - I take up to 20,000IU - and have for years, particularly in this northern climate, in the months between mid-Sept - mid April.
There are two types of UV rays from the sun. One is beneficial- crucially so - one is not. (Take plants out of the light - and they will die. Sun is the life giver. )
Sad thing is, for years now, the 'advice' has been to stay out of the sun during the peak hours - which are the VERY hours we should be IN IT.
Use the old Biblical rule: "Moderation in all things." don't get a sunburn....
