That is interesting! Coincidentally, I've recently had my vitamin D levels tested (home kit). It's generally reckoned that most people in the higher Northern latitudes are deficient in Vit D, now that we are all scared about skin cancer. There aren't many nutrients that contain, apart from fortified margarine (yuk). There is a double act with Vits D3 and K2 that play an important role in directing calcium to where it is needed. Apparently recent research is showing that Vit D3 is really important in many area, including cardiovascular, skin, bones, and cancer risk.
This one talks about the autoimmune system.

I've been on 5000 I.U. daily for a while now and the home skin prick test that I mailed off came back with "adequate" levels. However, I also take 100mcg K2 along with it.
I hadn't thought it might have a hand in feminisation!

PS re: forskolin, wouldn't it be ironic if a herb that sounds like foreskin had a feminising effect? ;-)
