Vitamin D – The Forgotten Vitamin
Sunshine also activates the pituitary gland to instruct the parathyroid gland to produce the hormone calcitonin. Calcitonin prevents your body from stealing calcium from your bones to feed your body.
Even in the decades past was it known that vitamin D was not toxic. In 1937 the Streck Report done at the University of Chicago Medical facility took dozens of doctors and scientist 9 years to complete, concluded that large doses of vitamin D were not toxic. Subsequent studies have also shown this to be the case. Studies have shown that taking 1200 IU and 2000 IU of vitamin D to be non toxic. The skin, in sunlight, is capable of creating 3,000,000 IU of vitamin D per day when all the skin is exposed.
