I feel like I have better sleep when I take a separate Vitamin D at dinner but don’t see this benefit when I take it as part of the calcium bone supplement the same time.
Judy, that’s interesting. While I’ve never heard of vitamin D helping sleep, as long as its working for you that’s whats most important.
Fantastic podcast Joe! Do you have any videos on balance?
Bob thanks so much! I do plan on turning this podcast into a video. Ill post it on my Youtube Channel and here when its completed.
