There’s something you should know.

Timing your vitamin D is very important.

Many people make the mistake of taking vitamin D supplements before bed. That’s a big mistake that can lead to many other health issues. Here’s why…

Vitamin D is inversely associated with melatonin. Vitamin D and melatonin are like night and day.

Melatonin is the master of sleep hormone. It helps you sleep.

But Vitamin D helps you wake up and start moving.

Taking Vitamin D in the morning will signal your body that it’s time to get up and start the day. It can also signal melatonin secretion later in the evening (Golan et al., 2013).

Therefore, consuming Vitamin D before bed or in the evening, can in fact worsen your sleep quality.

Your body will be confused. Your body will think it’s time to get up while you’re trying to fall asleep.

You’ll find it difficult to fall asleep, wake up several times during the night, and will never feel fresh in the morning.

It makes sense.

The power of nature.

For thousands of years, humans got up when the sun rises and went to sleep when it faded away.

Our bodies got used to it. When we got up, our skin was exposed to the sun and we got vitamin D.

At night, our skin didn’t get any sunlight and didn’t intake more vitamin D.

Your body is trying to help you.‍

When you intake Vitamin D, your body thinks you need to stay awake and need more energy.

That’s why it’s a bad idea to take Vitamin D in the evening.

Your body will try and help you stay awake, while you try and fall asleep.

In result, you won’t get any quality sleep. That can cause various other health problems.

“After I started supplementing Vitamin D at night alongside my magnesium, I woke up 3-4 times per night. Then when I switched my dosage to the morning, this problem disappeared” – Reddit User.

Take Vitamin D in the morning.

You’ll only benefit from this.

Your body will naturally keep you awake and give you more energy because it will think it’s morning time.

You will remain a good sleep quality.

And you will get your Vitamin D dosage.

If you or anyone you know takes Vitamin D before bed – tell them to STOP right now.

They are damaging their sleep quality, which is foundational for optimal health.
