Just ordered 2000IU capsules from Source naturals. That along with the 1000IU in the Orange Triad I take should be good.

I take 5k IU a day. Read somewhere that some doctors are taking 50k/week.

One thing for sure, I feel great!

I take 5K i.u./day as well. My 25-OH(D) level a few months ago was 75.

This is one of the better articles I've read on Vitamin D-3:

D uh!
The only folks that don’t want you to know this are the CDC

(Criminal Drug Coalition) and Big Pharma.

They would rather inject you with insect DNA/viruses and Genetically modified material that Nature never intended to exist, much less come in contact with human beings.

I take 2,800 IU of vitamin D daily. It’s especially important in the winter when you don’t get much sun.

You know, I just lived through the entire flu season here in Los Angeles teaching at a public school downtown. I didn’t get vaccinated, I didn’t take vitamins, I didn’t do anything but my nightly dose of vodka tonic and I got through it just fine.

I find that the extra D helps me to stay warmer. I used to be really cold all the time and now it is waaaay better.

What this doesn’t say is how severe was the flu in the two groups, for those who came down with it.

I take 2000IU daily after reading about Vit D and cancer. Unfortunately, I’m suffering through the worst flu now. Oh well.
