Why Vitamin D Is Critical for Portland Residents During Winter
Not to be all doom and gloom, but we need to address the obvious andn one little way you can help yourself out this winter. Whether you’re a native of the PNW or moved to town, you know that winter in the Portland Metro area brings short days, constant rain, and an everpresent cloud cover, leaving little opportunity for sunlight exposure. Some of you might take a trip to the sun in Scottsdale, Cabo or Maui to warm up and see the sun, but that’s enough. Without sunlight, your body can’t produce enough vitamin D, which is essential for:
- Bone Health: Supports calcium absorption, preventing osteoporosis.
- Immune Function: Strengthens your body’s ability to fight colds, flu, and infections.
- Mental Health: Deficiency is tied to fatigue and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), common in gray, rainy months.

Vitamin D needs vary based on your body, lifestyle, and activity levels. Thorne’s at-home Vitamin D Test allows you to identify your exact levels and determine the right dosage. Options, like Thorne D-10,000 down to the 1,000 IU option, provide tailored solutions for:
