After treatment for breast cancer, my oncologist recommended I take 2000IU per day of Vitamin D. So I did. Then I went to my rheumatologist & after blood work, she told me to lower my D to no more than 1000IU if that much. My D level was almost 100 but honestly, which one is right? Why would a rheumatologist be concerned about that level? I’m just not sure why Vitamin D is an issue to one doc & not the other!
Is there danger in a high D level?
Get your D levels tested again. 100 ng/ml is perfectly OK, but I am mystified how you got it that high. The average person has to take 5000-10000 D3 for a few months to get to 90-100. ______ I am at 74 ng/ml as of two months ago when I got blood work done.
Vaxxxx or no vaxxxx a D3 level of 50-60 is what you need. I am aiming to get to 90 Ng/ml. The elderly need D3 supplements. The ability to capture D3 via sun on your skin declines with age. Same for the obese. D3 is a fat soluble vitamin and is getting tied down in their extra pounds of fat. Thus not going where it should to be helpful.
Between advice from my oncologist vs any other doctor, I go with my oncologist/ Hematologist. Your situation may be different. I don’t see my oncologist anymore. Was told not to come back 5 years ago 😉 Cured!
