I only take a spoonful a day of CLO because of the vitamin A issue.

Do you have any data for vitamin D levels found in primitive equatorial

could cause imbalance in the body.

Maybe the low levels of vitamin D could be caused by a lack of something 
else in our modern diets - perhaps minerals or other vitamins...?
