i am quite new to the forums, and enjoy this community a great deal! question: what raw foods are the source of vitamin D for you? of the B's? =) what other vitamins/minerals do you find less prevalent in raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, sprouts, etc. how do you prefer to get them? i bought a synthetic liquid multi-vitamin recently. now having decided to go raw, i am uncomfortable ingesting something synthetic, especailly with the infinite possibilities of juicing and wheatgrass... any thoughts? thanks Re: Vitamin D

During the summer I like to lay around in the sunshine and get my vitamin D that way.  Re: Vitamin D

Date: May 22, 2009 08:02PM EZ rider, what type of D do you take?
I know D3 is recommended, but I think it only comes from animal sources Re: Vitamin D

Date: May 22, 2009 09:22PM I live in the Northeast (Massachusetts) so in the winter I really need a D3 supplement.
The only 2 kinds at the health food store are from lanolin (wool) and fish. I tried taking a tsp. of cod live oil but it made me very sick and nauseous! Re: Vitamin D

Date: May 22, 2009 10:18PM Hey, I checked my values and although I didn't supplement, I had no deficiency on D. The body has it stored for some time. Re: Vitamin D

Date: May 23, 2009 01:23PM D3 is the storage form that our bodies manufacture from UV rays...the active form of vitamin D is made in the kidneys called 1,25 D. Re: Vitamin D

There is a potluck that sometimes happens in Lafayette. It is on Meetup.com. There is one scheduled for June 6. I'm not sure how far that is for you. Re: Vitamin D
