It was the only Vitamin D3 on the shelf in Walmart. I bought it, then found it’s too much D3, and there were consequences!
As stated, it’s the same size as my normal 2000 that my doctor suggested a decade+ ago.
Yes. Sorry. I realized that after I posted it.
No worries. I’ve seen that mixup before. It amuses me to picture someone trying to choke down a five-gallon bucket full of those little capsules, though.
That’s also because pretty much only those deficient in vitamin D end up hospitalized with Covid.
Make sure you take enough supplements to keep your levels above 50, especially through the winter, Freepers!
What happened?
Mine are the same size but they are only 2000 ICU. My doctor told me to take two each day. Seems to me that 50,000 is way too much....
He let it slip in a fluffy interview with a Hollywood actress that he takes vit D. He hasn’t bothered to share that with us though because it might detract from his effort to vaxjab the whole world.
My D3 levels were good so I only take 250mg
Hope things get better for you. Sounds rough. My doctor doubled me up from 2000 units of D3 to 4000 because of a blood test but in looking at some of the side effects of too much I’m gonna ask my doctor about it next week because I’m seeing one or two of them. Maybe this blood test I took this morning can tell him something about the level...
Sorry, but vitamin D is too cheap to be effective. /s
Yeah that’s key, watching for side effects and follow-up tests, for any med. I’m also taking vitamin D cream for psoriasis that popped up post-sepsis. It’s part of my battle, lol.
I have been taking 10,000 Units a day. Had my physical last week and had the Vitamin D level checked. In a range from 0 to 80 my level was 78......
For a benchmark I have been taking 5,000 units of Vitamin D3 a day and my reading is 58.00 ng/mL
Articles I have read indicate that under thirty dramatically affects your outcome with Covid.
I read about Vitamin D and warding off pancreatic cancer a few weeks after I buried my mom with the cancer. Interesting it just popped up in my FB feed so many years ago. I’m also taking Turkey Tail - it’s also a great supplement.
I take D3 and Vit C as part of my prophylaxis for the Chinese virus. 10,000IU of D3 and 1000mg of Vit C. My doc said I was overdoing it so now I rotate these supplements every other day.
I’m also taking 200MG of HCQ and 6MG of Ivr, again, rotating every other day.
Been taking Vit D3 for years, literally. Haven’t been sick either. Thank the Lord.
Not very big at all.
Did your doc bother to have your D3 level checked before telling you to cut back?
Yes. In fact it was the level which prompted her request. Same for Vit C.
Never heard of Turkey Tail so I had to look it up.
Thanks for the info! I have a good friend who was recently diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer and I’m gonna give her a call and let her know about this!!
Again THX!!
Dizziness, vertigo.
But D3 overdosing is different in every individual.
