Thanks for the shout out, Maryann. This is a wealth of information. Over here in Scotland, vitamin D deficiency is rampant, so it was great to read a number to shoot for.

Thanks Lisa-Marie! Vitamin D remains a huge issue and hopefully better research will helps us get to universal monitoring and target levels.

I just read that kombu and nori have high levels of nitrates. I love in Asia so this is very handy. Interesting that this is another food eaten in Japan which is a country often recognised for the fact that its women seem to do well with the menopause transition. Also lots of iodine of course

That’s interesting, will have to check it out! Yes in Japan they tend to get more omega-3’s too.
