Stiffness takes over your knees and fingers as vitamin D is crucial for cartilage and collagen.
10/ Fatigue becomes your new normal.

How much vitamin D do you need?
40 minutes of sun gives you 20,000 IU of vitamin D3.
For different deficiencies, try:
- 10,000-20,000 IU for general deficiency.
- 50,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily for chronic fatigue.
Toxicity occurs when taking 100,000 IU daily for weeks.
