Pro Level Supplements & At-Home Tests for WiseAthletes
Updated edition: we had to fix a few spots in the recording so this episode is the (slightly) revised one.
Vitamin D isn’t a vitamin but a hormone, and it plays an important role in our bodies including the building and repair of muscle.
Can you just take a vitamin D pill and forget about it? Do you have to get sunshine to get sufficient vitamin D? Can you be low on vitamin D despite getting lots of sunlight? How much vitamin D can you take before you are risking getting too much? 2k, 5k, 10k every day?
The big question: is low vitamin D a cause or an effect of poor health?
These questions and more get answered or at least discussed in detail in my followup chat with Dr Grant Fraser who is passionate advocate for vitamin D supplementation.
To be honest, I've been a vitamin D supplementation skeptic for a long time, in part based on scientific studies that say supplementation doesn’t affect outcomes. Dr Fraser says …not so fast, pal!
Well, one thing is clear, everyone should get their vitamin D levels tested to see where they stand. If yours is low, today’s talk can provide a path forward. Fortunately the at home test only costs $37…mine is already on the way.
