Story at-a-glance Vitamin D deficiency is widespread, especially in northern regions with limited sunlight. At Vibra Hospital in North Dakota, 44% of patients had dangerously low levels below 20 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) To correct vitamin D deficiency, Vibra Hospital implemented a structured vitamin D protocol that significantly improved patient recovery, reduced complications, and supported better overall outcomes Maintaining vitamin D levels between 60 and 80 ng/mL supports immune function, cardiovascular health, cognitive performance, hormone balance, and blood sugar regulation, as well as lowers risk of certain cancers Sun exposure is the most natural vitamin D source. Make sure to detox vegetable oils from your diet before spending time under peak sunlight hours, as they increase your risk of sunburn and skin damage If you need to take vitamin D3, start by testing your blood levels to find the right dose. Take it with a meal rich in healthy fats, and balance with magnesium and vitamin K2 to help your body absorb and use it properly
