Yes, deficiency is rampant. buy d3 in softgel form the tablets don't absorb as well. 2-5k IU a day is a good start.
it also increases tyrosine hydroxalase activity. reduces inflammation.
make suyre you get vitamin k along with it. D increases calcium use, k makes sure the calcium goes where you want it (bones) and not wher eyou don't (soft tissue
'prescription' vitamin d might be the D2 form, which isn't as good.
