Inflammation of vascular epithelial cells causes serum calcium and some LDLs to adhere resulting in placques. Vitamin D maintains epithelial integrity (reduces inflammation) which keeps the vasculature smooth rendering CA++ and lipids more irrelevant than advertised. While sunlight derived vitD is ideal, supplements are the next best thing.

Supplement with a natural source like cod liver oil....
Yes or straight up cod liver...although I've never tried that. Do you take cod liver / oil?
Yes
I take 4000 units (epa + dha) of Nordic Naturals fish oil daily. Is that similar to taking cod liver oil?
Thanks for the info Henry! Do you take D supplements?
