Okay.
Okay.
And the science on vitamin D, FDA suggests that the range between 35 and 50 is adequate.
But the real science is suggesting that 85 to 100 vitamin D3 level is actually a way that you can change your internal body chemistry.
Wow.
And that'll actually fight off pathogens.
So, in a sense, and I'm not big on conspiracy theories, but I think that the fact that they're kind of downplaying the level, the public is generally taking vitamin D, think that they're getting enough, and they're really not.
And to your point, you can overdose on it because if you get to over 100, that's when it becomes detrimental.
So you were over 100?
And it has a lot to do with your skin color.
So you're a little on the fair skin side.
You tan a little bit, right?
It looks that way.
So tanning is actually a chemical reaction by a skin cell that's called melanocyte.
Melanin actually gives you a tan.
It's our natural way to filter UV light that creates vitamin D.
So that as the more sun exposure you get, the tanner you get, the more light you need in order for you to make the proper amount of vitamin D. So darker skinned people need more natural sunlight in order for them to make the same amount of vitamin D3 as someone that might be fairer skinned.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But that's the problem.
The problem is that, see, in order to do it properly, you should take a vitamin D scan or blood test.
