This site is AWESOME for Vitamin D. Links to articles and whatnot! I don't know him from a hole in the ground but he has Q&A and articles and makes sense!

Yes, it's the best source of vitamin D. I posted this previously in the vitamin D thread under "Vitamins", but I'll post it here too. It's a vitamin D by sun calculator:

This calculator is brilliant! It's certainly helped me to get a better idea of how long I should be in the sun for

I found this. I don't believe we have them here in UK though.

Does anyone use Cod LIver Oil for their vitamin D? If so is it a better source?

Lately I have been wanting to eat a lot of organ meat, liver, gizzards, etc. I believe they have vitamin D, I wonder if I have been wanting them because I am lacking it this time of year.

I've taken to having a teaspoon of vitamin D on days when I get no sun. Basically that means days when I do the commute with the convertible top up.

cod liver oil is pretty foul tasting Im going with the tablets.

I'd be careful with cod liver oil, as it is very high in vitamin A (which is easy to get from food).

rentawitch · « **Reply #24 on:** January 27, 2010, 02:02:11 PM »

is too much vitamin A toxic?

I've mentioned this once before, but it bears repeating:

Be careful with RDA numbers. Some are very low, the smallest number of item X needed to avoid Y serious affliction and make a man fit for army service.

Translation: there is often a HUGE gap between bare minimum and optimal

Half an hour, completely naked, in the sun, at the equator (best case scenario) produces 10000IU of vitamin D.

DUDE! ...my sensitive bits would burn up!

I totally agree, especially with vitamin D. But, I'm more careful with vitamin A.
