All they sent me was an article on how important vit d is. I am going to call them on Monday and ask what they were expecting me to do. I can drink THAT much milk and I'd be burned to a crisp if I sat in the sun that long.
Thanks!!'

Very poor advice!
You need high dose intervention, until you get your levels up.
This involves D3, perhaps 5000 IU daily. Then retest.
The 50,000 IU capsule sometimes used by doctors is the very OLD D2 formula, which is very inefficient.
There is a website to explain this:

Some people need more than 5000 IU D3, but I will not recommend that here without "a" doctor's supervision.
Once at normal levels, 2000IU D3 may be enough. But you only will know that with testing. The tests will show if you become normal. One other thing: I'd recommend D3 supplements that are liquigel caps, not powder. These are absorbed better. |
