One of the last threads I responded to had to with Vitamin D. After reading the thread I looked around on the internet and found that a lot of the websites do indicate Vitamin D as a possible treatment that doctors prescribe along with Vitman A, Lac Hydrin, Carmol, etc... It's apparent getting a sun tan can help kp. One website indicates that we should get 200 IU for Vitamin D daily. I found this info on www.daily-vitamins.com. Does anyone know if this is correct.

dr mercola has a lot of info on vit d, and he recommends more than that. he also recommends getting a blood test. i just take what info i can get, and try to not worry about the really technical stuff (it's usually expensive). i really see a difference in my skin when i remember to take my cod liver oil, which is an excellent source of vit d. i have to take it before my meal, though, so i forget a lot of times. so today i bought a capsule with vit d in it cause it's easier. i didn't think to read the other ingredients, and when i got home i realized it has soy oil, which is not good for you. so now i have to return it and work harder at remembering to take the cod liver oil, which is probably the best and safest way to take it. it's good to take it when you are having a source of calcium in you meal or with your supplements cause it is for helping your body use calcium.
