How fast will my vitamin D levels rise once I start taking supplements or getting more sun?
Vitamin D levels do not rise fast or easily. In a world of meetings, appointments, school, work and family; taking time out at noon on a sunny day to expose your naked skin to sunlight isn’t typically a top priority. The truth is; it will take concerted effort on your part to achieve optimal, protective levels of vitamin D. Take a look at this diagram. There are various avenues for building your vitamin D stores. And, as you can see, making 25(OH)D is a multi-step process. Even with conscious effort it will take time to raise those levels. And if you are deficient in vitamin D, overweight or both, then give yourself longer to achieve your goal. It will take most people months, and could even take up to a year to reach optimal vitamin D levels. Get a copy of Powerful Medicine: Vitamin D, and learn how to safely raise your vitamin D levels based on all the personal and environmental factors that directly affect you.
