Some things you may not know about vitamin D and a very good link to explain it all. I have consistently recommended 1k per 25lbs body weight. For example, a 200 lb person would take 8 k a day and check in three months. Mercola recommends 70 to 100 ng/ml to treat cancer and heart disease and lower amounts if you do not. I am going to add one more thing to the list for the higher amounts of vitamin D. Pain. There is very significant profound pain relief to be found in the higher amounts of vitamin D.
As always check in three months and once a year. Only by testing does one know where you are. One more caveat. He suggest you get your vitamin D from the sun if at all possible as it is a preferred method of making vitamin d. I agree, but again I have a couple of caveats. If you are 60 years old or older it takes at least 3 times the amount of exposure to get the same amount of vitamin D that you did at age 30. However, you will still burn as easily. So supplementation must be done if you are to get a significant rise in blood levels. Burning of the skin is always to be avoided. I might add also that this website sells sun lamps. Need I say more.
