Thanks. Damned if you do and damned if you don't. Same with sun blockers.

I'm a skim milk guy myself. The point is milk usually has Vitmin D, does it not?

"I take 400iu daily..."I've been reading the daily dose should be 100iu. Mind if I ask why you take 400iu? I'm going to start taking Vit. D as I'm under strict orders to slather on the sunscreen and wear long sleeves and a hat when I'm out in the sun (ugh). Oh well, we have to do what we have to do.
Your input is appreciated.

"I've been reading the daily dose should be 100iu. Mind if I ask why you take 400iu? " Well, my mom (bless her soul) used to take calcium suppliments at the urging of her doctor and the specific one he recommended had 500iu of vitamin-D in it. I found 400iu tablets and decided that was close enough...I don't like taking too much of anything and I am going to reduce this to 200iu. My doctor has put me on 500mg of niacin daily...that's for cholestoral reduction along with 20 mg of Lovastin.

Thanks for the feedback. Actually my post was incorrect as I dropped a zero. It should have read 1000iu :-). I don't like taking a lot of supplements/meds either. Think I'll start with 400 - 500 iu.
Thanks for all your health related posts.

I saw about 3 posts by him yesterday. Interesting idea, that vitamin d might help prevent flu and colds.
To: LucyT
"Daily Vitamin D
Minimum 400IU
Optimum 400 -800 IU
Overdose 2000IU"
Thanks, Lucy. This is good to know. Have to stick to the middle way.

You have the cause and effect reversed.

BTW, I was diagnosed with SAD (seasonal affective disorder) some years ago so I began taking a two week vacation to the Yucutan each Christmas. I'd tour all the Mayan ruins in the jungles down there...you wouldn't believe how much stuff is all in those jungles. I take 400iu daily and stay out of the jungle these days. Hmmmm. I have SAD, read an article similar to this one a few days ago, and figured a vitamin D supplement might help. Took my first one this morning...

"Took my first one this morning..."Good. It takes a while. Don't get disappointed and stop taking them. It seems that the darker skinned you are, the more you should take.
