after reading frew threads about hips/bones etc I am wondering is it wise to maybe start taking vit D on your own say so, I know we get it from the sun and I do try to get a reasonable amount of natural vit D .

My rheumatologist told me at the last consultation that I was low on Vit D and that was after spending all summer on the golf course or in the garden- apparently the body doesn't store Vit D for very long - so I'm on a supplement now. everyone I speak to has been told the same thing by their doctor and are also taking a supplement.
