My dad always pushed vitamin d supplements to us when we were younger we aren't even that dark skinned

Here's what someone more educated than me says:

Vitamin D insufficiency is more prevalent among African Americans (blacks) than other Americans and, in North America, most young, healthy blacks do not achieve optimal 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations at any time of year. This is primarily due to the fact that pigmentation reduces vitamin D production in the skin.

Is that why dark skin women are so stabby?

 

[RadaMillz]

Yes, 100%

the more melanin you are blessed with
the more you are deficient of Vitamin D if there's lack of sunshine where you reside

me being midnight breh from the northwest, I gotta stay with Vitamin D3+K2 supplement on me.
remember you need K2 to help you absorb VTD

Yep. When I lived in the Midwest I had to take pills in the winter as an adult because my levels were low from lack of sunlight. I'll die on this hill, I believe dark skin people are not supposed to be living above certain latitudes.

What symptoms did u have

None, lab results when they drew blood showed it

I thought everyone knew this. You should be taking Vitamin D from November to March. Even Nordic white people do this.

 

[CopiousX]

Lies. Speak for yourself

 

[MischievousMonkey]

Yes, my doctors let me know

If you live in the west you're more at risk

 

[Oatmeal]

Yes, I've been speaking on this every time we have a skin routine thread or a health thread because brehs still don't know we require a lower sodium intake than the "daily value"
