   • Fewer opportunities to forget.

   • If happen to forget, just take the dose many days later

   • Fewer times to have to take a pill - for those who dislike doing so

2. Non-daily gets more vitamin D to the cells for the ~20% who have a poor Vitamin D Receptor

   • A high concentration gradient is one of 14+ ways to get past Vitamin D Receptor limitations
