I've been doing the separate dosing thingee, but include the multivitamin with a fat load.
I'm only on 3,000 to 4,000 IU of vit D, because I've read that you can get TOO much of it.
Any literature on that heavy a dose?
Good to know about which vitamins to take with which.
(Non-government group) Vitamin D Council, as well as other Vitamin D researchers, suggest 5,000 IU/day for most adults...aimed at attaining a blood level of 50-100 ng/ml (determined via lab test, which can be ordered from companies like Life Extension, et al).
D should be taken w/Vitamin K; some recommend taking them at separate times (for example, D in the morning, K in the evening).
Take D with a fat-containing meal to maximize absorption.
I have been taking 7,500-10,000 IU/day for about 15 years and my blood level at last check was 55 ng/ml. Overdosing is possible, but not nearly as likely as previously believed.
Any literature on that dose?
Largest dose study was 150,000 units daily for over a year with no side effects on seven patients.
I take 10k to 20k daily for a few weeks then a month or so off. I cannot remember my last Flu, over 20 years ago.
Though I felt off for a few hours a month ago. So not sure if I had a flu or not.
TYPO! I meant 1,000, not 10,000, which is needed only for emergency protection (you feel something in your throat or sinuses, etc)
