Vitamin D deficiency leads to dementia

Yet another reason for making sure you and your loved ones are not Vitamin D deficient. My primary care doctor makes sure that my yearly physical’s lab work includes testing for Vitamin D serum level.

Got my D today!

Altitude of sun: 50 degrees plus. 15 minutes

One of the few silver linings of living in CA is just 10 minutes outside (with no sunscreen) provides all the Vitamin D needed….

Sure wish we had sunlight in my state...

Most people are D deficient.

Don’t assume that sun exposure will raise your blood level of 25-hydroxy vitamin D, especially if you are over 40 years old. We gradually lose much of our capacity to activate vitamin D in the skin with sun exposure. When in doubt, have a blood level of 25-hydroxy vitamin D checked. Only an occasional person has to seasonally adjust their dose to accommodate summer sun exposure. And don’t assume that, if you live in Miami or Maui, you have an ideal level of vitamin D—once again, check a blood level. https://blog.undoctored.com/ten-rules-get-vitamin-d-just-right/

For anyone who really wants to absorb D the best way possible, get a supplement that does D and vitamin K2 together.

If you don’t want to go outside, stick your arm out the window for 10 or 15 mins every day.

UK, fine, but hard to figure all the cases of dementia in states like FL, AZ, S Calif, CO, etc. if it’s Vit D deficiency

You are in Spain?

[Sir Bangaz Cracka]

Well, darn. Big Pharma can’t get rich selling vitamin D. So, don’t expect MSM to highlight anything regarding benefits of vitamin D. And, if word ever managed to get out that vitamin D was superior to vaccines in protection from Covid, MSM would criminalize any mention or sale of it.

Reason #1346 to be glad I moved to the beach in Thailand. Lots and lots of natural vitamin d from the sun👍👍

From this morning...

Out on a walk. The guy was harvesting scallops as it was low tide. Fancy resort hotel in the background.

[kiryandil]

No, probably where suncalc defaulted to for you.

[roving]

I watch live webcams from there. It looks like it rains more than the sun shines

[markomalley]

Gotcha beat. Sun angle 71° (I’m so 12°N latitude)

Many people deliberately stay out of the sun and wear long sleeves in locations where sunshine is abundant due to fear of melanoma. In addition, it is common among people with abundant melanin to avoid sun and resultant darkening of complexion.

During monsoon season, sure.

I was posting the recipe for vitamin D absorption.

The sun altitude has to be 50 degrees or greater.

Less than that angle, the good UV bounces off the atmosphere.

You probably don't have much atmosphere bounce all year long.

Looks like you're good to go between 9:40am and 3:00pm right now.
