Vitamin D Source - Which One Is It?

ILLinois - USA

All reading I have found says that VitaminD is NOT made by the body and MUST be taken in by Dietary and/or outside supplements. My Doc will not budge on recommending Statins when he sees my LDL numbers. The plot just thickened:

The article shown is the reason there's so much research going on now to see if simvastatins actually make a difference in people with COPD and if so, with what geno and phenotypes. I suspect it will work for some folks and not for others; we just have to figure out which ones and how you identify them.

Vitamin D3 and vitamin D are the same thing. Take D3 if you need a supplement. If you're not getting outside then you should be taking it.😁
