Vitamin D Deficiency? Here's how to up your vitamin D levels!

Here's How I Increased My Vitamin D Levels 

If you are here reading this article there is a good chance you are like me and are currently battling a vitamin D deficiency.

While it has been a few years since I went through this, I figured I would share my experience.

Let me tell you, it was not a fun time. It had been a tiring process to figure out why I have been feeling the way I felt.  I have had some issues with energy levels, finding motivation, being active, and just feeling rather down.

And that is fairly uncommon for me. I have always been very active and what I would consider healthy. At first, my wife and I thought it was stress, I had been working a lot, on the road a lot and not sleeping well.

After getting some medical advice we had tried a handful of things, which ultimately led me to get a blood panel.

While they found that I was fairly deficient in quite a few things, I started with vitamin D. 

In short, it was that I was spending too much time inside with a diet that was nutrient deficient.

This lead to onset soreness, a massive struggle to recover after long work weeks and exercise and a less than ideal mood and mindset.

How I increased my Vitamin D Levels Naturally

I first started making an effort to get more sun. I made sure that I went outside every day and got sun on my face, arms and chest. While I was at home I would even take my shirt off to make sure i had more skin exposed. The more that is exposed to the sun the more vitamin D your body will soak in and synthesize.

I started shooting for 10 minutes a day which was easy and then moved up to 20 minutes.

I would set a couple alarms on my phone as a reminder.

Good Sources of Vitamin D?? 

Next, I did some research and found common food sources that had Vitamin D in them and started eating them about 3-4 times a week.

Some of the best ways to get more vitamin naturally is through fish. I'll be honest I am not a really big fish guy, but I muscled it down some tuna and occasionally some salmon, but good salmon is actually quite expensive..

It was actually cheaper to supplement with d3 than buy salmon every week

I also made an extra effort to get vitamin D from fortified foods. Orange Juice is a great source of vitamin D, just look at the label and make sure it is being added.

This is super weird but breakfast cereals are also fortified with vitamin D. I chose to stick with Cheerios.

Dairy products are also great sources. If you are ok with eating butter and cheeses those can be a great source too.

Vitamin D Supplementation 

The best thing that I did was to start supplementing with Vitamin D. In the beginning, I tied a bunch of different ones. When I was taking the capsules I felt like it was passing through my body and ultimately going down the toilet.

We have all seen it, we know when we take our vitamins... The color of our urine usually changes color. LOL 

Then I switched to a liquid vitamin d which I found had a better absorption rate. The one I found to be the most effective was by a company by Purathrive. 

They have a liposomal delivery system of vitamin D to your body. Essentially these things called liposomes protect the vitamin d so it does not get broken down in your body and you actually absorb a lot of the vitamin d.

Here is a link to their page if you are interested in trying something like this.

I was hesitant at first but did a ton of research before buying, They have awesome customer service and a crazy 180-day money-back guarantee.. 

Top-quality company. I will never stop singing their praises
