I'm wondering what exactly the difference is between beans, lentils, grains, nuts, and seeds. For example, what's the botanical difference between black beans, green lentils, rice, almonds, and sunflower seeds?
1 Always take your vitamin D supplements with or right after you have eaten a meal. The food in your system will help your body to process this nutrient.  It doesnât seem to matter what meal you take your supplement with. The time of day does not appear to affect your bodyâs ability to absorb vitamin D.
Holick recommends a dose of 1,000 IU a day of vitamin D for both infants and adults -- unless they're getting plenty of safe sun exposure. In 2008, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended that breastfed infants receive 400 IU of vitamin D every day until they are weaned. This doubled the AAP's previous recommendation. The AAP also recommends 400 IU/day of vitamin D for children and teens who drink less than a quart of vitamin D-fortified milk per day. The Vitamin D Council recommends that healthy adults take 2,000 IU of vitamin D daily -- more if they get little or no sun exposure.
