Do you know your vitamin D status? Are you supplementing with Vitamin D3 and K2 but not with magnesium? Have you been dealing with fatigue and mood concerns or memory decline? Are you always catching some kind of infection?

Join Ali Miller RD as she discusses how our body makes vitamin D, causes and symptoms of deficiency, food-as-medicine sources, and the best way to assess our vitamin D status. She covers up to date research on vitamin D supplementation influencing hormones, mental health, immune, and cardiovascular health. Learn about the industry standards and bioavailability of vitamin D in relationship to vitamin K2 and Magnesium. Ali covers how magnesium and vitamin D should be supplemented together and how vitamin D supplementation without magnesium can drive low magnesium status.
