Vitamin D3 Supplements, Which Should Women Take? - Dr. Cedric Garland (VIDEO)

Dr. Cedric Garland, Dr.P.H., F.A.C.E.:

The type of vitamin D3 supplements that people should buy should be plain vitamin D3, shouldn’t be mixed with vitamin A, and shouldn’t be in fish liver oil. Just plain vitamin D just by itself, and it comes also from the sun and a woman can make that during the months when the sky is clear and the air is warm, usually around the lunchtime, but whenever out in the sun for the purpose of making vitamin D, it shouldn’t exceed ten minutes. Forty per cent of the skin area should be exposed, but a hat with a large brim should be used to protect the face, and sunscreen should be kept in the pocket until the period of exposure to the sun is over.
