Vitamin D

[BigBlackGuy]

How much vitamin D are you guys dosing? I've been taking in 4000IU, but I'm going to bump up to the 6000 to 8000IU range. I think the recommended dosage or someone of 150 lbs. is 5,000 to 10,000IU.

I usualy take 5,000 IUs of D3 a day or so.

It is worth it to get your levels measured.

I stick to 5000 IU a day but I also think it depends on how much sun you get and where you live.

2-5k is adequate for anyone, unless you live in an area that has no sunlight...

even during the winter here in new england i don't dose over 5k/day and 2k/day during the summer months.

there are mentions of D3 deficiencies occurring in people with darker skin, but remember that D3 is fat-soluble, so it is stored in the body... fat soluble vitamins in excessive dosages can result in toxicity.

if you're unsure, have your levels checked, as someone had mentioned.

5k UI/day, usually with weekends off but now the darker months are here (dark when i wake up and dark when i log off work) i am doing every.
