Vitamin D - High Doses
 

I know that many of us are aware of and take D3. I've been over at the vitamin forum here and wanted to bring this post about taking HIGH doses at once to your attention. I know that a few of you take 50,000 IUs weekly as prescribed by your neurologists or MS specialist and when I asked my endocrinologist about this because I know that too much D can be toxic, he said that they're finding that when a high dose is spaced out, there doesn't seem to be a negative effect.

This seemed to be a rational explanation but when I posted this in the vitamin forum in a thread about D, it doesn't look like there is agreement on its safety. Thought it was worth posting here, for those of you doing the high weekly doses:

I haven't seen my results yet but I got them over the phone. My liver function is okay and my D level is within normal range so it really makes me wonder, what was my level BEFORE I started taking 3,000 IUs a day! I'm curious to see where I'm going to be on the range scale.
