Thank you. It needs said on every article here dealing with D3. Some on here are playing with fire. The bone pain is the process of leaching calcium out of your bones and entering your blood stream. If you have any blockages in your arteries these are the spots it accumulates. I had an artery scan many years ago and had two minor blockages. I was in my 50’s. Best 99 dollars I ever spent. I had another in 2016 and those two had become major and had three other minor ones. So it is not just hardening of the arteries. It sets you up for a stroke. I was put on the 50,000 IU pills and immediately experienced whole bone pain in my right thigh. I had to figure it out on my own, which says a great deal about the VA medical profession. Yeah, take high levels of the rat poison if you dare. Go ahead and play Russian roulette.
Like I said earlier, I take 2,000 IU during the summer months when I can get some beneficial sun. During the winter months when the sun is lower in sky, I switch up to 5,000 IUs, which is still a tenth of your 50,000 IU.
During the whole time, I'm having foods rich in vitamin D such as eggs and fatty fish.
I think the human body was programmed to obtain all necessary vitamin D through sunlight and animal-based foods. Pills probably not necessary at all if you eat right and get out into the sun with none of that sunblock lotion.
Yes, the Eskimos got very little of their Vitamin D through sunlight but remember they had diet heavy on fatty fish. That was probably their compensating factor.
