Vitamin D & Eczema

I’ve bumped up my daily intake of vitamin D3 to 5000 I.U. This is the first time in over a decade that I haven’t had an eczema flare-up at this time of year. I would highly recommend that Advocate readers do an Internet search with the key words “vitamin D and eczema.” There are thousands of articles attesting to its potential as a preventive and treatment when used responsibly at the proper potency.
