“ Advised that you get a test for levels of vitamin D(s/be 80-100) and zinc (s/be 7-12).”
Side note here…
Vitamin D blood levels at high concentrations can lead to heart palpitations, too much calcium in the blood, and liver or kidney damage.
People report that taking high dose vitamin D supplementation experience these things after 3-5 years as your body fat absorbs it’s limit and more circulates.
Get tested! Regularly. Quest Diagnostics has the test without prescription.
I’m shooting for keeping mine at the level of 40-50.

Vit K prevents that from happening if you take a high dose of Vit D.
Okay.. disclaimer time, check with your doctor if you take a blood thinner.
Another disclaimer.. I think many doctors are stupid.
I take between 10,000 (yes you read that correctly) and 15,000 every day and have taken that much every day for over 3 years. But I also take a pretty high dose of Vit K.
I just upped it to 15,000 because as I was moving out of the last house, I tripped over this stupid thing, put my arm out and jammed my shoulder. Vit D helps you heal.
I have gotten ALL of my Vit D information from a great little E book by Jeff T Bowles, who has gotten all his Vit D information from different medical journals.

Good reminder.
I have been taking Vit. D3 for decades-not mega doses but adequate. Haven’t had the flu since I started taking it. Used to get whatever was going around all the time, but Vit. D3 apparently changed that.
I tend to forget that people might not be aware of Vit. D Toxicity issues.
