The Sunshine Vitamin

Still winter, but the sun is shining, and the days are getting longer! Everyone looks forward to this time of year, moods start to lift and happiness abounds... Getting Vitamin D is what it's all about! In the winter, Vitamin D dips to the low point, and slowly rises until the peak levels in August. During winter, we usually need to supplement 2,000-5,000 IU of Vitamin D a day. If very deficient, up to 10,000 IU or greater is needed! Please get YOUR sunshine vitamin today!

Holiday Blues

Holiday Blues, so sad, so true... Please, PLEASE watch your friends and family for any loved ones who exhibit any signs or symptoms of the Holiday Blues- sadness, depression, lackluster personality, moodines, sleepiness, irritability, avoidance, extreme social anxiety, etc. This sad affliction comes at this time of year due to the cold weather, out of school or off work. Even the thought of being alone during the holidays is more than some can bear. Or the opposite- the thought of being with others is overwhelming. Even vitamin deficiencies, such as Vitamin D can cause such extreme depression, especially in the winter. Be on the alert, be aware and possibly save a life!
