My husband is a carer for the Severely Intellectually Challenged & Vit D has always been amongst the high quantity drugs/Vitamins that he's been required to administer to them;



Vitamin D hype has everyone swallowing the “sunshine vitamin” like Oprah swallows fat loss scams. Scared of cancer? Eat vitamin D. Can’t get into your skinny jeans? Eat vitamin D. Got diabetes? Eat vitamin D. Tired of your wife yelling at you for watching too much Celebrity Apprentice? Eat vitamin D.

Nobody is immune from “D” hype. Famed nutrition gurus from around the world have been pushing vitamin D on the masses. Thankfully, I’m not a nutrition guy. The thought of spreading wishy-washy advice with a cute trendy smile makes me nauseous. I enjoy solitude, research and more solitude. So much that I don’t even carry my cell phone, just a bad attitude. And that’s why I’m a chemist, because I enjoy sleuthing for real answers behind the hype, especially when it comes to “pills.”

Yass, I've been sceptical of most synthesized, supplimentry, manufactured vitamins & minerals since I found out how diluted & contaminated they were by other added ingredients. Also, the herbs that are being grown & manufactured are very weak & have also been messed around with. Though I think this is becoming common knowledge now,
I'm sure they'res some reputable ones out there but unfortunately it's difficult to know.
It comes back down to juicing, preferabley home grown fruit & veg or trusted sources of organic bought veg to recieve the vitamins & minerals that the body requires.
My friend has a health food shop & said he wouldn't touch the majority of products on the market, also the local Supermarkets that have got on the band wagon & are now selling an organic section of fruit & veg. is mostly false advertising as he bought some & had them tested only to find traces of spray & very lacking in value.
