Really it is best to test your vitamin D levels once or twice a year...it should be in the 50-70 range for good health. There are many factors that can affect your ability to absorb vitamin D from the sun...I can attest to some of these variations as I have been taking D and testing for about 5 years. My husband, who is an avid outdoorsman, had levels under 30 because of some of these factors. He is now in the mid 60's range and his health has improved quite a bit after supplementing with D...10,000IU + 1 Super K daily during the winter and in the summer the same dose every other day.
That’s not accurate. Cant speak to the magnesium but for D, unless you live in florida, you have to take it as the sun is not strong enough to produce enough in the fall/winter/spring. D is so cheap to buy if you’re not taking it you’re just asking for a shit health for no reason
Most people don't need an hour. And some people will never make vitamin D no matter how much sun they get. Everyone's body processes Vitamin D differently.
Or, go outside for an hour a day.

Isn't 10k IU per day kind high, almost toxic?
Not if you are low. Knowing your number is is the key.

Going outside is healing for the body and soul! Great advice blacksmith!
Yep. A healthy diet and active outdoor lifestyle eliminates the need to take all of these supplements for the majority of already healthy peeps.

Food allergies and only eating what you grow limit your diet due to seasonal food and obviously allergies.
