Hello I'm new to this forum and just been diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency?

Bone health necessitates the use of vitamin D. Recent study suggests it may have other advantages, including as preventing colds and combating depression. You may not get enough vitamin D if you don't spend enough time in the sun or if your body has difficulties absorbing it. Here are ten ways to make sure you're getting enough. Short of spending time in the sun, vitamin D3 pills are the most efficient way to combat vitamin D insufficiency. It's critical for supplement users to stick to a consistent brand and monitor their blood levels on a regular basis. In the United States, the average vitamin D level is in the mid-teens. Because vitamin D is not generally consumed but rather created after skin exposure to the sun, it is lower in people of color. Because it is a fat-soluble vitamin, blood levels fluctuate slowly.

I was on 50,000 per week for three months. At that point my level was getting close to normal. I am currently taking 3000 per day and barely make normal on routine blood tests. And I eat a lot of dairy and fortified foods. You have nothing to worry about. A lack of vitamin d causes rickets. Which is an old word for bone loss. The Emglish sailors of old had a rough time of it and got calcium from fish like sardines. Those of us where winter abounds can easily run too low. If you have an auto immune disease or never had much dairy growing up, your bones are strongly affected. It helps your body maintain calcium. Be sure you are also taking calcium with this or it won't metabolize effectively. You are fine. Call your doctor when you are worried about a medicine. Always a good idea to ask.

No this is not a high dose, if you were low. You're only taking it 3 times a week. I've seen higher then that. Don't forget that not every drug has the same dosing so just because the number is high it doesn't mean the dose is that high, just that that is the way the drug is. Mine is now normal, and I take 2000 a day every day. Vit D is far more important then was first thought and it matters more that it be normal. People who live in climates without much sun have a hard time having a normal vit D. Plus we are so aware of not getting too much sun exposure that we have a really hard time having enough vit D naturally. I live in a climate where we don't see sun for days on end. This time of year even when it is out, its too cold not to be bundled up so we don't really get much sunshine when we're out.
