Get the test done from your endo. I’m a white type 1 but also take another medication that depletes my vitamin D. Mine was very low and the doc gave me a prescription vitamin which from me ended up cheaper than buying OTC. I think standard does is 2000iu a day but the doc have me a 50,000iu once a week vitamin D. I don’t think vitamin D is one that can be stores or builds up you will lose the excess instead.The heart problems are worrisome just because we are more inclinded towards heart problems anyway. Anyone know what the recomended vitamin K dosage is per day?
OOOPPPPSSS have=gave
“Anyone know what the recommended vitamin K dosage is per day?”
Everything I’ve seen says around 90 - 100 mcg per day. Here is another one that is K2 only. I’ve used this one or the D3K2 combination for about three years. This one is 100 mcg, page down for ingredients:

You should go and read some of Dr. Wright’s articles....he’s Harvard educated and a Naturapath...and my doc.....and yes, I take Vit K....can’t tell you right now how much...50mg Vit K2, and 500mg Vit K1....
Dr. Wright saves peoples lives! Including mine.
Vitamin D,like A, is one that is stored up. In fact, you can get a toxic amount in your system.
More and more it seems that an attempt to treat one thing, only leads to an imbalance elsewhere. And, that correlation does not prove causation. Does a low level of D cause illness, or is there something that causes some people to be unable to maintain a certain level of D in their systems? Dr. Hadler has a chapter in his book, Worried Sick, that says you are NOT what you eat. I think he may be right. All this worry over what we eat or don’t eat may have much less effect on our health than what we would wish. There is no magic diet, food, pill, or exercise that will make us live forever.
This article also seems to go back and forth between D and calcium. From what I could tell, it was the calcium supplementaion that caused the increase in MI.
Looks like the best way to get your D is to get out in the sun a bit every day.
