God knew what He was doing when He made food, and added vitamins in very, very small doses.

You have to go get a blood test first. Then add some supplementation if it’s low. Then after a couple months, go test again. Adjust your dose if you start getting a lot of sun too.

Dr. Cannell’s vitamin D regimen

"On the weeks I cannot sunbathe, I take 5,000 IU/day of vitamin D."

He hawks it on radioinfomercials with vitamin K2, magnesium and boron, IIRC. I take 4000 IU of vitamin D3. I get another 400 IU of D2 in a multivitamin. Everyone is different. IIRC, I posted a story about vitamin D from this same source that told about black taking vitamin D were more likely to get calcified arteries.

Skepticism Mounts on Need for Vitamin D Supplementation

Discussing findings from a recent cross-sectional study involving 340 African American patients with type 2 diabetes, Dr. Buckley said that serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were positively associated with increased calcified atherosclerotic plaque in the aorta and carotid arteries (J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. 2010 Jan. 8, 2010; [doi:10.1210/jc.2009-1797]

“The effects of supplementing vitamin D to raise the serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level on atherosclerosis in African Americans are unknown. Prospective trials are needed,” the investigators said.

All I'm saying is that if you're going to play your own doctor, you better know what you're doing. Vitamins are not necessarily benign. You can overdose on vitamin A too. There was a study to prevent prostate cancer with vitamin E. Those who got vitamin E had 17 % more diagnoses of prostate cancer according to a doc on Charlie Rose last night.
