Vitamin D is vital for our intestinal flora, for our immune systems, and for several internal organs. Vitamin D deficiency has also been linked to a number of different diseases and illnesses. The main source of Vitamin D in nature is sunlight, which makes it more difficult for people in the north to absorb enough during the winter months. Vitamin D absorbed during the summer can be stored in the body for a little while, but the level is reduced by half every six weeks unless it’s replenished. Stig recommends taking Vitamin D supplements year-round to maintain healthy levels.
