How much vitamin D do you really need?

    We recently received a question about the vitamin D3 dose in our Optimum DK Formula. The reader was wondering if the 5,000 IUs of vitamin D was “too much,” especially considering that her doctors have told her not to take more than 2,000 IUs of vitamin D per day and that research from Harvard indicated the upper-level max was 4,000 IUs.

What is the best medicine of all?

What is the best medicine of all?

  There’s a loaded question!  What do you think is the best medicine of all?

Others may say proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).   These drugs do what they’re supposed to—shut down your stomach acid so it can’t...
