Not sure I’m posting to the general thread...very timely discussion. I just began megadosing to get me up to what doctor prescribed a few years ago. I’m 61, female, and overweight so it may explain why I have often tested with a deficiency (less than 20) and not just low. Feel tired all the time, muscle weakness (I thought it was lipitor). So I will take 50K IU every few days for a few weeks, then drop to 5000 IU daily.
Any opinions? How long has it taken to build up sufficient amounts? I also live in South FL, so am certainly getting enough via sunlight.
For the last 10+ years I have taken a 5000 IU Vit D tablet every day. Guess How long it’s been since I had a common cold?
My Dr. at my request had lab work to determine my Vit D level. It was slightly above the average. So far so good.
I’m not sure of the brand I take. What ever WalMart sells. I once bought a three year supply from Amazon because the price was so good. But Vit D is cheap.
