It's hard to keep track of all of this but I think it's great to see that you're putting your story out there.

After you have been using that amount for 90 day invest in a <A HREF="http://www.grassrootshealth.net/d-action" REL="nofollow">$40 postal 25(OH)D test</A> to check your level.<BR/>if it is below 60ng then add 100iu/daily for every 1ng extra required. If you are above 80ng then you can lower your intake by the same formula.TedHutchinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13140097526458431747noreply@blogger.com
