Vampires don’t get Vitamin D

Even vampires need their vitamins. Unfortunately one of the essential vitamins, vitamin D, is obtained through sun exposure, or at least that’s what I read in this health blog.

You see where I’m going with this, right? How can vampires get their vitamin D if they are never exposed to the sun?

Multivitamins, that’s how. Most of us don’t take multivitamin (though we should) and we never know the difference, because we eek by nutritionally the natural way, through what we eat and what we do (spend time in the sun, even the video game playing nerd gets at least 15 minutes of sunlight a day.

A good multivitamin fills in the gaps humans don’t get naturally.

Unfortunately vampires have much more gaps. Aside from not getting any vitamin D in a day’s time. They lack many other nutrients offered up by fruits and vegetables simply because they diet only on blood.

Sure, blood is high in iron, protein, and those wonderful omega 3 fatty acids. Blood is a great part of the paleo diet, it doesn’t have carbs, so vampires don’t have to worry about gaining the flubbery love handles that so many sugar gulping Starbucks moms have to constantly hit the gym to keep off.

But what about vitamin C? Or that energy producing nutrient CoQ10, or extremely importantly, calcium?

Vampires lack all these essential nutrients, and it’s for that reason above any other that vampires should invest a good portion of their monthly income too good nutrient supplementation.
