I decided to check my 25OH D level and if it's too low I will take supplement. The problem in my country is that I can't find pure vit D (it is always with calcium or vitamin A, both of which I'm afraid to overdose). I remember there were some drops for kids when my daughter was small but they were sold on doc's prescription. Can anybody point me to an online drugstore selling D without A and Ca? Maybe when dollars are now pretty cheap I will import it from the States :)) I read a number of blogs about health and especially the low carb way and the vit D issue appears all the time.

Our teenager takes 1000 IU's of vitamin D each day and our younger kids take 500 IU's each day. They take this in high vitamin, good quality cod liver oil, so they're getting their vitamin D WITH vitamin A and the omega 3's - all together, the way they come naturally. We have 4 kids.

It is true that you can get Vitamin D via natural sunlight, and that the "natural" way is generally the preferable way to get most vitamins, but the "natural" way isn't always the most convenient. If you live in a region with little sunlight throughout the year or you are just your average Joe that works indoors all day without a chance to get some sun on a regular basis, supplementation is essential. Also, as I alluded to above, certain nutrients/vitamins/minerals are nearly impossible to naturally ingest amounts that achieve levels that provide therapeutic effects. A comprehensive multi, as you say, is a good way to cover all your bases. Fish oil supplements are crucial.

It would work to up the Vitamin D, get more physical activity, which would help with weight problems, overall health, depression, and the list could go on and on. I realize not everyone lives in as warm and sunny a climate as I now do, but even so, for much of the year many people could go outside and get their Vitamin D that way. I'm all for getting things the "natural" way - food, sunlight - before taking a supplement, although I do take a daily multi (and give one to my sons) as well as fish oil.

They only provide suggestions for the most basic of needs - to prevent things like scurvy. This is fine of course. But the problem is that this speaks nothing of the levels that far surpass RDAs that can have serious therapeutic value. In one sense RDAs are a joke.
