Not having enough vitamin D increases your risk of developing unwanted symptoms like depression, fatigue, and muscle weakness but it also increases your risk of developing more serious consequences like diabetes, weight gain, and cancer.

For these reasons, you should take your vitamin D level very seriously.

But the question is: how can you rapidly increase your vitamin D to prevent these issues?

I’m glad you asked because you have 3 options that work VERY well:

Method #1. is the sunlight method. This method is by far the most natural and the one that you should aim for if at all possible. It works by harnessing the power of the sun which helps to convert and activate vitamin D in the skin and body. Watch the video to make sure you are using the correctly!

Method #2. is the supplement method. Because not everyone will be able to get all of the necessary vitamin D that they need from the sun, we have to talk about supplements. If you are using supplements then you’ll want to make sure to use vitamin D3 instead of D2 at a dose of around 1,000 to 5,000 IUs each day.

Method #3. is the combination method. The combination method takes advantage of the sun, supplements, and natural sources of vitamin D from food. Realistically, this is the method that most of us will use because it’s not always practical to get our vitamin D from any singular source.

Because vitamin D more closely resembles a hormone as opposed to a vitamin, increasing your vitamin D has the potential to help many different systems in your body.

Take your vitamin D level seriously and get tested if you haven’t recently, especially if you are trying to improve your overall health.
