If your D3 levels are optimal... you can absorb calcium in much higher amounts...up to 4x more!
In fact, some doctors are now suggesting those taking high dose D3 don't need extra calcium at all, above what is in food.
It is very possible that poor Vit D levels are contributing to the brain issues following concussion. So getting that tested, and taking the right amount of D3 for you, may really help.
Vit D is not a vitamin...it is only called one because historically they named it so. It is really a form of steroid the body makes from sunlight to do many many things.

This is just one of many new articles on fish oil and Vit D.
If you don't get tested, it is recommended to stay at 2000 IU D3 daily. Anyone with lingering head injury should get tested to see if they need higher amounts.
