How much Vitamin D do you take?

Dear Nan,

This article is very helpful and consistent with what my husband and I have come to believe about Vitamin D.

Thank you

uncleszwife...not sure how much the test was..haven't rec'd the informtion from my insurance company yet.   It will be 100% covered though because I have met my deductible..many months ago!  I can let you know though!

The office called me today and said that I did not need to up my Vitamin D3 iu's but..I still think I'm going to...they are going to test me again in 3 months now..instead of 6 ...(at my request)..I will see how I'm doing at the time.

After chemo I checked my D3 level and it was 19.  I started taking around 5K to 6K of D3 a day, along with 2 Citracel and a multivitamin.  About 8 weeks later, my levels are now 47.  I think I'll stick with the 5K a day of D3 and check again in a few months.

Dear SharonJ1234,

Apparently in Austrailia this is a script, but definitely not here in the US. With all the sun which is available there in Australia, one has to wonder why the residents have low D3 levels? Of course the intense heat keeps most people indoors?
