Note that recent research has established that Vitamin D3 improves the First Phase Insulim respomse in T2D. Unfortunately vegetable vit D like this is D2 and not so bioavailable as the animal based version.

You can increase the amount of Vit D in mushrooms by exposing them to sunlight for a while before eating.

So the light in the fridge is not enough?

I read the article. Does anyone know what the recommend amount of vit D is?

I can imagine people running around naked picking wild mushrooms as fast as they they can in 10 minutes, to avoid sunburn here in Australia.

I take two vitamin D3 tablets at the moment, plus the daily sunshine issue.

I take a monthly one on the first of the month because my levels were low, despite loads of gardening/walking (albeit with a hat). Apparently some people get worse at processing it from sun as they get older? At any rate, vitamin D deficiency is massively common (one in 5 in the UK?)

NZ is probably like Australia after Sid the Seagull's Slip Slop Slap campaign, the increase in Vitamin D deficiency shot up to record levels.

But unfortunately a vitamin D test is not on the list that GPs can order in NZ. I had to ask my GP to give me a script for a private blood test when I wanted my levels checked after moving here 5 years ago. Reminds me, I should probably ask for another one next time I go see my GP.

I have not had a free one for years either, Fedrral government stopped a load of blood tests as either to expensive or unneeded.on our Medicare here.

Reminds me, I should probably ask for another one next time I go see my GP.

My GP said to hold off on blood tests for a while as I do not need for them to find out any thing else wrong with me.

Edit: I have inserted for and any in the required spots to make it sensible reading,
