Nature made is often better than man made.
Some who had eye lasik surgery may not agree. Seeing is believing.
Okay, so we will say mostly and often.
Like Vitamin D.
You need that sunshine to get your vitamin D. Naturally. Holistically. Voluntarily.
If you get a lot of sunshine.
We’re going to get a little technical here.
Vitamin D from the diet, or from skin synthesis, is biologically inactive.
It is activated by two protein enzyme hydroxylation steps, the first in the liver and the second in the kidneys.
Because vitamin D can be synthesized in adequate amounts by most humans if they get enough sunlight, it is not essential and therefore is technically not a vitamin.
Instead it can be considered a hormone.
Technically not a vitamin. Intriguing. But if you don’t get enough of it, like if you are indoors virtually all of the time, you will need a vitamin supplement.
An estimated one billion people worldwide are either vitamin D insufficient or deficient.
Vitamin D deficiency is widespread in the European population.
A diet with insufficient vitamin D in conjunction with inadequate sun exposure causes vitamin D deficiency. Severe vitamin D deficiency in children causes rickets, a softening and weakening of bones, which is a rare disease in the developed world.
As you can imagine, with the elderly, who are in their last years and residing in an indoor assisted living facility, if they are not wheeled outdoors or helped with their walks, it is understandable how they may be deficient in vitamin D.
In terms of its health benefits, the team at mayoclinic.org educate “Vitamin D is a nutrient your body needs for building and maintaining healthy bones. Its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and neuroprotective properties support immune health, muscle function and brain cell activity.”
Good to know.
We always want to know more. Let’s walk over to the bookstore.
The Vitamin D Solution: A 3-Step Strategy to Cure Our Most Common Health Problems Paperback – Illustrated, February 22, 2011
By Michael F. Holick (Author), Andrew Weil(Foreword)
“This information can save your life. Really.”—Christiane Northrup, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Goddesses Never Age and Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom
Many Americans have succumbed to the scare tactics of the dermatological community, and avoid sunlight for fear of skin cancer and premature aging. Therefore, most of us suffer from vitamin D deficiency, which causes daily aches, pains, and fatigue, worsens serious illnesses, and diminishes the quality of everyday life.
Drawing on decades of research, Dr. Michael f. Holick reveals a well-kept secret: our bodies need a sensible amount of unprotected sun exposure. The most comprehensive rescriptive book on the market, The Vitamin D Solution offers readers an easy and inexpensive plan to reversing the effects of vitamin D deficiency-and enjoying a substantially healthier life.”
We’re all for living a longer and healthier life.
Okay, so natural sunshine is best but if not possible, there are other solutions.
The Importance of the “Sunshine Vitamin” During the Dark Winter Months

Approximately 95% of the US population do not meet the daily requirement for vitamin D1
PLEASANTON, Calif., Nov. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The connection between sunlight and bone health was made over 200 years ago when a Polish doctor treated inner city children with rickets (or soft bones) by taking them to the countryside for the summer months. Leading wellness and sustainability brand Shaklee is here to explain why vitamin D is more than just for your bones. In fact, vitamin D promotes heart, metabolic, and immune system health in addition to supporting bone health. And in the winter, when our sunshine exposure is shortened, it’s important to supplement vitamin D to support our overall health and well-being.
“Vitamin D is produced when sunlight touches our skin, and very few foods in nature contain vitamin D, with fortified foods – primarily cow’s milk – being responsible for most of the vitamin D in the American diet,”2 said Jamie McManus, MD, FAAFP, and Shaklee’s Chair of Medical Affairs. “As daylight savings time ends, we have less opportunity to absorb vitamin D through sunlight. Therefore, Americans should supplement their vitamin D intake, especially during winter.” Other risk factors for low vitamin D status include darker-pigmented skin color and obesity.
Backed by two Shaklee clinical studies and packed full of the “sunshine vitamin” in its most potent form, Shaklee’s Vita-D3® raises the levels of vitamin D in your blood to support overall health, bone health, heart health, and immunity.*3,4 Vita-D3 provides 2,000 IU of high-potency vitamin D3.

Vitamin D is absorbed into our bloodstream and converted to the active form (a secosteroidal hormone) and a storage form (25-hydroxyvitamin D) – it functions more like a hormone than a vitamin. So, it is no surprise that having sufficient levels of vitamin D is so important for a broad array of health effects.
Potential benefits associated with vitamin D include:
- Aids in calcium absorption for maintaining strong bones and teeth*
- Helps support healthy heart and immune function*
- Facilitates healthy cell development*
“At Shaklee, we can’t stress enough the importance of having healthy levels of vitamin D, especially as our hours of sunlight lessen in the winter months and it’s nearly impossible to get this vitamin naturally,” said Roger Barnett, Chairman and CEO, Shaklee Corporation. “We’re proud to offer a safe and proven vitamin D supplement in its most potent form to support bone, heart, metabolic, and immune system health.”
Shaklee’s mission is to bring true wellness to the world. And true wellness means physical health through great products, financial opportunity, emotional health through the love and support of the amazing Shaklee community, and the health of the planet as a whole.
