Lightbulb It is still very new, this Vit D

information.

I am still cautious about it. Part of that is my training, I suppose.

If you suspect you are low in D, I would get a test at the doctor's.

Then you can monitor doses, if you choose to go into the thousand IU ranges.

I myself do not take more than 1000 IU per day (and none in the summer). Vit D is stored and over time,
high doses, can cause grief, including calcifications of the kidney.

Since this post was written, information has changed. I have increased my D from 1000IU to 2000IU then 4000IU yearly...now both my husband and I take 5000IU for the non summer months for the past 2 years.
