Vitamin D Benefits!!! EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE IT!!!

BENEFITS:

- Regulates Normal Heartbeats 
- Aids Calcium absorption for stronger bones
- Combats & Reduces the Likelihood of Getting Cancers Like Breast, Colon, Kidney & Prostate

And SO many More!! Do yourself a favor and eat more of the foods listed below or go to your nearest health food store and pick yourself up vitamin D3 supplements (d3 is better absorbed than d2!) - it is recommended these days that you get 1000 IU + but I would talk to a trained professional... I personally take roughly 3000 - 4000 IU a day (from fish, sun & supplements!)
