Hi Brian, than;s for the update. I was waiting for others to jump in, but I guess a lot of people are on vacation. We usually get a slow down every year at...
Hi all, I am on here because of my son, Rob who was diagnosed with juvenile spondy at the age of 12. He is 20 now. My question: He has been in remission for...

Oh yes about the low levels. This is the list of my issues and most fit the vitamin D and potassium problems. GI issues started in my childhood with two...
Samantha, thank you so much. I increased my intake to 3,000 iu for now. I work outside but not always in the sun. I could feel a difference in the first 24...
