Hi nyuszisue, the Mayo Clinic website and livestrong.com both list constipation as a side effect of vitamin D supplementation, so your concern is understandable.
If I were in your position and were deficient in vitamin D (actually I am), I would continue to take the D3 and try to combat the constipation in other ways. I’ve found that a simple power pudding of applesauce, bran, and prune juice has worked for me when needed: http://www.grandmas-wisdom.com/relie...stipation.html When I asked my doctor about possible side effects from D3, he did say that if constipation occurred, it would likely happen regardless of the dosage taken. In other words, it shouldn’t be worse with a 5000 i.u. softgel vs. a 2000 i.u. softgel. I can’t verify whether this is actually true or not, but I just thought I’d pass along the information. |

If one still believes D3 is an issue, take more Vit C thru the day, 500mg a few times a day, but C is so critical for so much of our health systems..... And since the 2 yr+ covid drama, I believe so many would be alive today if they got enough of these 2 vital supplements in their bodies.

It takes some balancing to keep Vit D levels in a good place for Immune System and keep from becoming constipated. I work with the magnesium, extra Vit C, a new product which is a cleanse called Intestinal Movement Formula, and have Psyllium powder on its way..and my trusty cooked prunes. Keeping a balance is important and also being mindful of colon clogging foods like heavy meats.. and drinking warm water thru the day, aim for 8 glasses warm water..

On the D3 and constipation issues, could be something to it. I just got my annual labs and my D3 was a beautiful 98 on a 30-100 lab range, but my sluggish bowel issues persist, ummmm....and I do take a new colon cleanse product so maybe the D has gotten to high for my bowel activity.
