Vitamin D often gives me a migraine. The Sun not so much. Any advice?

I usually go to D3 2,000 units but it doesnt agree with me

The first step might be to check your vitamin D level. Then you’ll know better where you are in comparison to a more protective level of 60 to 80 ng/dL. You might need to go up more slowly. See the vitamin D calculator at. https://www.grassrootshealth.net/project/dcalculator/ To check on this. Also make sure to take your vitamin D with a meal as it is a fat soluble vitamin.

Some people do not translate sunlight into vitamin D production very efficiently. I have met people who had an amazing tan who had very low levels. These individuals need oral dosing to build their whole body levels up and work around their lack of transformation of vitamin D.

Vitamin D made by a company called Bio Tech is the best out there and inexpensive. You can find it at their site https://www.biotechpharmacal.com/products/d3-1000-iu-1

Yes! Agree entirely. Such a simple and safe intervention, with a myriad of other health benefits as well.
