Default Vitamin D

Researchers question current RDA for Vitamin D. Says it's too low.

Shocked

Thanks for the reminder, Marlene.

The IOM recommendations are basically antequated and laughable. (but not funny for the patients themselves!)
There was much discussion here and on the net when that
recommendation became public a couple of years ago!

My rheumy prescribed vitamin D2 50,000 (ergocalcifil) twice a day for a month. That seems like a dangerous amount after reading the side effects?

BTW my levels are 48.

Ergocalciferol D2 does not work much for humans..
Get yourself OTC D3. You are wasting precious healing
Time taking that antiquated RX .
