u can take up to 10,000 iu on ur own. Low vit D, can cause osteoporosis, bone pain, cancer among others! Hope this helps

Well, yep - I was in for a big surprise. I got from my pharmacist the prescription they ordered for me. It is only 4 pills!!!
They are
50,000 units of Vitamin
D2. I am supposed to take
1 every week, for 4 weeks. Obviously, I am afraid to take such a megadose of this, but it would only be 1 pill every week
NOT day, so that's a big relief. However, I'm told my so-called
natural level of Vit D is probably more like a 9 or 10, since I had been taking a multivitamin with D in it already for some time.
This is also some evidence that I have an undiagnosed condition that stops me from absorbing normal levels of vitamin D, though we don't know what that is just yet.
I figure that such a low level can't be good. So I plan on taking the prescription as ordered, I just hope I don't react badly to it.
