Vitamin D3 dosing

I am curious about D3 daily dosage, I have read to take 5000IU.

So I have been taking Cutler King PA which has 4800IU, my multivitamin has 2500IU and I have just started AlphaMax to run with ABE.

AlphaMax has 200IU...so if I took all of these together I would be near 10000IU of D3...is that too much?

Should I stop taking the Cutler King PA?

Thanks.
 
Pretty sure I read article about fighting off illnesses during winter months, and the study was on 10,000 of D3.

Google high dose vit d for colds. Should be lots of articles.

Since it's fat soluble I doubt you'd need 5000iu more every day.

You are getting some in your diet as well (hopefully)

Maybe try and take the 5000 d3 every other day. That's what my gf does when she goes home to "hibernia"
 
cool article on vitd3 my dr referred me to as i was deficient last blood test: currently taking 8,000 IU

Take as much as is prescribed by your doctor for your deficiency.

The best way to put it.

In saying that, 10,000 is quite high, which would be more if you are getting a little more sun. Kinda why I dislike products that dose beyond 1000 individually
 
Yeah I have a Costco brand its 2,000 per. My multi gives me 2,000 IU as well and working from home I really don't get much sun. But he wants me to double my number hence his side recommendation

^this^^^

I have a home gym and as an internet marketer, I'm at the computer 10+ hours daily. I started taking 10,000 daily and now maintain at 5,000. Been reading some really great things on VD3... The best VD I ever had... :)

Just out of curiousity, what was your vitamin d value? My brother was tested a few weeks ago and actually had a value of 4. His doctor started him on 50,000 iu/week and he's already feeling much better (a lot more energy, depression gone, etc.).
 
4???? wow that's really really low.

mine was 22. which is in "normal" range for lab tests, but he wants me up to 50, 40 at a minimum. following up in January

Yeah, his doctor was shocked at how low it was (even talked about starting him on TRT since that was very low too). He's joining my Mom now with taking 50,000 iu/week (she had a value of 11). I guess people in my family need to leave the house once in a while. :)
 
I decided to drop the Cutler King and save the rest for another time outside of use with AplhaMax.

With AplhaMax and my multivitamin I will be at 6500IU...the Cutler King would put me near 11500IU.

My brother works in a machine shop all day, 7 days/week. So, he spends very little time outside during daylight hours. I work in an office all day but 2,000 iu/day has gotten me to a value of 37. I'll probably add another 1,000-2,000 iu/day to try and get closer to 50.
 
Going to start shooting for 7,000 IU a day now, especially as its winter

2,000 from Orange Triad
5,000 from a bottle of D3
 
2000-5000iu ed D3 IMO

Same here...work from home, workout at home. I take the wife out, and fish...Other than that, I'm usually stuck working in front of the computer all day. Vitamin D is underrated...
 
Went to a pharmacy as in the UK and picked up some strawberry flavoured vitamin d3. no pipet though, so have to sit there and count 50 drops out each day, haha.

weird to note i haven't had vitamin d3 basically since I got back from barcelona 2 weeks ago as forgot to supplement it. About an hour after taking the vitamin d3, I was suddenly extremely horny. gf was very happy
