Food and water are the most crucial things we should be Stocking, but we should also be stocking Vitamin D as well. Did you know that about 43% of the U.S. population is vitamin D deficient? Vitamin D deficiency is common, and that deficiency will only get worse when SHTF, and we don’t have adequate sources of nutrition.

In fact, getting enough vitamin D is already tough because it doesn’t come in a lot of the foods we eat. If you are vegan or lactose intolerant, you will have an even harder time keeping your vitamin D levels up. Vitamin D is crucial for your body. So, I am going to tell you why you should start stocking it today! Please remember I am not a doctor, nurse, or anyone in the medical field. It’s always a good thing to check with your medical advisor before adding any vitamins to your daily routine.

Just so you know, a lot of doctors do not request your Vitamin D levels as part of blood lab work, at least where I live here in Southern Utah. I had the same experience in Northern Utah. I have to “push” to have the test included when I go for my annual Blood Tests. Please remember, we are our own advocates, you must be vigilant when you have blood tests, research, and ask questions.
