Calcium and Vitamin D

Just this morning when I was having a casual conversation with a co-worker, we touched on the topic of how much calcium or vitamin D should one take. Being south asian in orgin I am not sure if my skin type gets enough vitamin D or not. I discovered that once people like myself move to the west the level of vitamin D in our body drops way low.

I have no clue as to how much is good or indeed if I should take it, and what if I over dose myself with too much Vitamin D or calcium. What a coincidence! I read an article on this topic in today's New York Times.

This article will shed some light - http://tinyurl.com/dbuyp.
