I've felt very good when I took Rosita. I'm ordering another bottle with the intent to make sure my Vitamin D is good. Back in the day I felt fantastic using a fermented cod liver oil and then they started tasting wrong to me. I had to stop it. If you listen to your body in an Instincto manner it will help you make the right choices after highly addictive substances like refined sugar are removed.
Here is an interesting video I came across recently which speaks strongly to having enough vitamin D, preferably from sunlight (which is not always practical), as well as sufficient B vitamins and deep sleep. It's all intertwined with gut health. It's about 90 minutes but makes some great points and is changing my approach right now as far as my current health recovery.

As far as foods you can use oily fish, liver, or quality egg yolks.
You need to make sure you get enough of the co-factors. Vitamin K. Calcium. Zinc. Magnesium. Boron. Vitamin A.
It's possible if you are low in the co-factors your body would have high circulating calcium and the body would reduce production of vitamin D to protect itself. I'd start with looking at vitamin K intake and move on from there. You may find you need to consider some greens if you are eating omnivorous. I'd caution against high oxalate greens like spinach and kale. See how you do with things like collards, turnip greens, or mustard greens.
I would agree that it's better to take it, imo, if ur deficient unless ur body is strongly telling u not to. I do well on Rosita too and it genuinely gives me energy.
and yes I think that's what it is, Vit K, calcium and magnesium
I'm actually quite worried for vitamin A since I eat liver, and I have read that can compete/reduce the vitamin D further? And that Vitamin D should be higher than A, but that's literally impossible to do unless I stop eating liver (I eat very little of it anyway... but love it)
I don't seem to do well on raw veg or even veg juice.... just so allergenic to me, even just the smell x_x
I eat lots of seafood however for Mg, and peeled cucumbers also
Thanks for the video, very interesting
