When my vit D results came back a 6, I had extreme fatigue, muscle tender pain spots, AND sunken fingernails. All these went away when I took vit D supplements.

What did you take, how much and how long? What were your blood tests results like?

[@LC-38338]

I was prescribed 50,000 units vit D once per week. It climbed up slowly. It took several months to get to 50 because I have the gene that interferes with normal metabollism of vit D. It changed my life. Prior to tmt. I did not even have the energy to drive to visit my daughter.@@cocochocookiedough

After a motorcycle accident I didn’t go outside for a couple months. Ended up getting prescribed copious amounts of SSRIs and other ADHD medication and depression medication. I never understood why I was so depressed after the motorcycle accident but six years later I was tested and very very deficient in vitamin D. It made me very sad to realize this. A whole struggle was very likely just a deficiency in vitamin D, but I was getting pills shoved down my throat that weren’t even targeting the problem. Took 7 years to figure out.

Found my vit D was extremely low...they prescribed me 50,000 1x a week for 12 weeks. I literally felt a miraculous change after the FIRST DOSE!!!

I went in to the ER with palpitations. EKG was fine, heart was healthy but I was very low in Vitamin D, Magnesium, Potassium and Sodium. Started supplementing with these vitamins and minerals and have on;y been feeling better and better.

Dr Berg recommends 20,000IU of vitamin D, take with K2 daily. You can start with 50,000 daily D if you’re very low. Takes about 1-2 months to get levels up a bit. Magnesium Glycinate is most absorbed and needs to be taken before bed to help sleep.

Years ago I lived in Australia and then Italy, so there wasn't much difficulty getting some sun exposure, but here in England we sometimes go for weeks where it is grey and raining, even in the summer. I feel so much better on days with a blue sky when I spend some time outdoors, and taking vitamin D supplements doesn't really replicate that, but it's probably better than nothing.

I have problems with my teeth and noticed that pain and troubles with infection was reduced when I switched from zinc glycinate to citrate. How much D3 to take is a good question, and I guess more research is coming as the general interest for this topic is trending. I have used 10 000 IU most days for some years, so on average it's been at least 5000 IU daily during winter. I live in Scandinavia and I don't get out very much, so supplementing is critical. It is so important to gauge one's own health and well-being, having courage to do what is best for oneself. On a few occasions, when feeling the onset of a cold or infection, I take 50 000 IU of D3 for 1-4 days, depending on how I feel. I also add grams of vitamin C feeling a cold is on its way. And I now take K2/MK7. My bloodwork a month ago returned >375 nmol/L of S-25-hydroxiVitaminD, 50-178 considered normal. It was called "potentially toxic" and I was told to stop all supplementation of D3 immediately. I did, but my fatigue and brainfog is worse again and since yesterday I feel a cold coming on. I need to learn more about this "potentially toxic" state and what actually happens in my body. I've been ill for years and my metabolism is shot, and I have always reacted differently to lots of substances. I have learned through the years not to trust my doctors on these issues.

[@laurahenriksen19]

Legitimate concerns also regarding your practitioner. I found out 2 days ago from being in with endochonology team that I have been severely deficient in Vitamin D since 2018 😮 and some of the chronic physical pain, brain fog, inability to digest and more could be to do with this deficiency. I was stunned especially as I get regular screening because of my poor health. Also that I am on the lowest and likely insufficient dosage for my thyroid so whereas I was told all my physical issues were my fibromyalgia some are likely the lower dosage and levels of these necessary things and I was never made aware. Not only was it not told to me but I was told my thyroid was fine. After discovering I am at a 5.3 when they want my thyroid a 2.5 I am stunned 😳

Yes there were studies that showed the vitamin d levels that the medical professionals were using were actually extremely low and that it is safe and actually more beneficial to the body to be getting much more IUs than previously stated.

[@janne-mans8295]

Would the ideal intake not be: about 2 hours after vitamin D3, take vit K2 ? Why: because D3 draws/binds Calcium out of bones, so to drive unused Calcium back in bone tissue as vit K2 does, one should postpone vit K2 intake until 2 hours after D3 intake. So a combination pill is sub-optimal. K2 in combo, would interfere to some extend D3, so weakening the effectiveness of D3, causing the need for more D3, thus depleting stored vit D, more quickly than when postponing K2 intake by 2 hours What is your assessment and that of other experts ?

Are those 5000 IU a daily dose?

[@DrJinSung]

Vit d ichroma

[@marktaylor3802]

Some wrong info here mixing up (ng/ml) & (nmol/L). People need a range of 50-80 nmol/L equal to 20-32 ng/ml. 60-80 ng/ml is Dangerous.

I have a comprehensive blood test once a year and vitamin D is included in the test. We have a great health care system in Australia and a comprehensive blood test is paid for by the government.

I'm confused. Are you a doctor or a chiropractor?

[@ProdByKeys]

Both because your “doctor” doesn’t know shit about nutrition and nutritional deficiencies, only drugs and jabs. This guy could heal you 100x times better than your general practitioner. The average GP doesn’t heal at all actually lol
