I have been taking vitD3 for a couple of years and recently with K2. Cod Liver Oil, flaxseed,hempseed/milk, sunflower seeds, oat bran plus run of the mill meals including meat (regrettably) as I could easily become vegetarian. Not easy with my dear lady who’s portion size is only limited by the plate! So, I have to call myself a ‘flexitarian’- leaning to Keto and intermittent fasting.
