Hey everyone, just came across this article and thought it was super relevant for our gummy vitamin discussions! # Are you taking supplements correctly? Here’s a guide on their dosage limits A recent report highlights a crucial, yet often overlooked, aspect of the booming supplement industry: the importance of proper dosage limits, especially with fat-soluble vitamins like Vitamin D. The article mentions that many people double-dose without realizing the risks of toxicity over time. What do you all think? Are we being careful enough with our Vitamin D gummies? I know I sometimes take an extra one when I feel run down...

Great topic OP! As someone who spends a lot of time outdoors photographing nature, I've actually reduced my Vitamin D gummy intake during sunny months. The article's point about cumulative effects really resonates - our bodies can store fat-soluble vitamins, so more isn't always better. I stick to one 1000IU gummy daily in winter, but skip them entirely from May-September when I'm getting natural sunlight during my photography hikes. Anyone else adjust seasonally?

Frankly, this modern obsession with supplements worries me. My grandfather lived to 94 without a single gummy vitamin! He got his Vitamin D from cod liver oil and sunshine. These articles are important reminders that we shouldn't replace traditional wisdom with convenient candies. Have you all considered getting tested before supplementing? That's what my doctor recommends - know your actual levels first.

Oh this takes me back! I remember when gummy vitamins first hit the market in the 90s - we were all so excited about the flavors that nobody talked about dosage! 🍬 The article makes a good point though. I've been taking 2 Vitamin D gummies daily for years (cherry flavor is my jam), but now I'm wondering if I should cut back. Does anyone know if the sugar content affects absorption? Back in my blogging days, I'd have researched this for a whole post!

I actually make my own Vitamin D gummies now! After reading similar articles last year, I started DIY-ing them so I can control the dosage precisely. I use gelatin, lemon juice, and a measured Vitamin D3 dropper. It's easier than you'd think! The article is right about following RDA guidelines - I keep mine at 800IU per gummy. Pro tip: add a pinch of turmeric for extra anti-inflammatory benefits! 🛠️
