Thank you for the info, I just had mine checked and it is 6. Was wondering what baseline is. Dr. gave me 50,000 IU taking one a week for 8 weeks then they are retesting. No wonder I have NO energy at all.

Yep, that's really low. It'll take awhile to get it back up. Vitamin D is actually a hormone and it affects so much in your system.

Sorry, I forget how to do links. Just copy and paste.

How do you get it checked? If I ask my family doctor will he be likely to agree or roll his eyes?

That is super low D. I was taking 2000 units a day, in the summer, and my levels were surprisingly low, 24. I upped to 10,000 a day, and after a few months it was only 49. Now I am taking 15,000 a day, hoping to reach the coveted 60 on the blood test. 60 to 80 is optional for preventing illness and disease.

The sun is not so great - I get a little every day in SoCal and it doesn’t “do it” for my D levels.
