“One trial found a little better bioavailability for vitamin D gummies compared to tablets.”

“The tolerable upper intake value for vitamin D is 4,000 international units a day for adults.”

“Vitamin D is also produced in your skin. So, it's completely unnecessary to stare directly into the sun to get vitamin D.”

“Wouldn't recommend this practice to anybody. There's plenty of damage and many cases where people have issues with their vision after direct sunlight exposure.”

“Vitamin D, you can get rickets without vitamin D. It doesn't affect your growth like for example vitamin D does.”

“The guidelines in the US recommend 30 grams at least... trying to get 40 or 50 grams of fiber a day might actually be a little better than getting 30.”

“It's a mainly vitamin D2. It might be a little less potent, a little less active than vitamin D3. So, I personally wouldn't rely on vitamin D2 exclusively for my vitamin D needs.”

“I just take the supplement daily and I take it throughout the year. It's easy. Take it one pill a day. This is 1,000 international units.”

“In children, and in pregnant or breastfeeding people, it's advised to limit or eliminate caffeine.”

“Studies show caffeine lowers what we call resting metabolic rate, basically the amount of calories our body burns at rest just to maintain its basic physiological functions.”
