I wanna visit for historical trip. I hope Ched is wrong and that it's never cloudy or rainy or night-time

you mean, IU

he is in US not NZ

the amount you espouse would be = to 40000IU, no?

if i am not mistaken, that amount has peer-reviewed studies that show toxicity potential

LOL shiiieeeet. I meant IU. So it would be 1000IU lol. Most pills I have seen contain 100IU so I have to take 10.

Been looking for 25 microgram ones so I can dose just one per day but I cant seem to find any.

I live in PA and am working midnights so I dont see the sun as much as I would like. I have never supplemented with a vitamin D supp and this whole discussion has me thinking that maybe taking a vitamin D3 supplement would really be beneficial. Is 3-4,000IU's from a multi and D3 supplement in the fall/winter the norm? I did some Googling and there are many conflicting dosage discussions.

I get 1,000 from my multi (speculative about absorption) and then later (w dinner) I take 2000 or 3000 iu . I buy 1000iu gel caps = simple adjustment of dose

there is 'many conflicting everythings' on google, esp in a quick search on some things

the amounts you suggest are just fine

as cheda points out, the form/absorption from your multi are not necessarily equivalent to taking a specialized seperate quality D3, but you are on the right path here

Without actual testing dosages can be hard to determine. I take 5,000 for most of the year and then take 2,000 during times when I usually get enough sun (summer or spring). I have been tested before though and had to take certain amounts until I got into adequate levels (this was a long time ago) and now I just go with that typical dosing that I feel works the best (which is slightly subjective).

I love how this has turned into a vitamin D thread

Great Info!

What brands do you guys use?

[Apnutter]

Body must have got used to them.

So, what are the real pros of taking a Vitamin D supplement I guess? Not quite sure on that part, the quantifiables and what I should be on the lookout for.

There are a lot of pros in supplementing with various forms of vitamin D
