Injections are not necessary!
Sun exposure is best for some people, but the D3 supplements are quite effective. The D2 doctors continue to give does not work, as new studies show it is not active in mammals except a little bit. D3 is over the counter and very inexpensive.

mrsD - thanks for all your advice. I will decline the injections. I have D3 which is 400IU so I would have to take like 10 of these a day! |

Yep... 400IU not mixed with anything else?
That is such a tiny amount! Even the 5,000 IU is tiny. 1000IU is 25MICROgrams, or .025milligrams. So 5,000 IU is 5 x 25mcg or 125micrograms. D3 is so inexpensive you can get a new bottle for $5.00 or less. Here is one example: A YEAR's supply, for $14.95, less than 5 cents a day. Quote:

Look at the other ingredients. Some tablets have additives that may be laxative or irritating in large amounts.
I can't say you can take 10 of yours safely therefore because of the other ingredients.

I really wouldn't take 10 of those. Those ingredients were
approved GRAS ("generally regarded as safe" by the FDA for the sizes and doses they accompany. Taking a huge number of them? Not wise. These Vit D supplements are so inexpensive they don't create enough financial burden vs the risk of taking 10 of the remaining ones.
