🍄 Garden Alchemy With Mushrooms | How To Boost Vitamin D Naturally

Did you know your mushrooms can make their own vitamin D — right in your garden? 🍄☀️
Nearly half the world is low in this essential nutrient, and deficiency can cause fatigue, low mood, weak immunity, hair loss, and even stubborn weight gain.

Here’s a natural, science-backed way to fix it — let your mushrooms sunbathe.
Place portobellos or brown mushrooms gill-side up in direct sunlight between 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. and they’ll produce up to 700 IU of vitamin D per hour.
You can continue for up to three days of sunlight, and they’ll reach around 4,000 IU per 100 grams — fully charged and unable to absorb any more.

💛 Let your garden do the work while you stay in the shade.
This is one of nature’s simplest, cleanest ways to boost your vitamin D — and it’s a perfect reminder of how much our gardens can nourish us in unexpected ways.
