Vitamin D

[Legna88]

People who live in areas where there is very little sun(e.g. UK) or are most of the times indoors, should supplement with vitamin D3?

 

[raven]

My vit D is always normal on bloods and my TE hair test told me to not take additional vitamin D supplementation unless advised by a doctor. I'm in the UK

 

[r4ndom]

test it, it should be between 50 and 60

The most common and credible reference point is the vitamin D council site for info and dosing at least what I heard in the past.

I am the reverse. I live in subtropics as if I were in Florida, I am often outdoor, and my vitamine D was low last june.

This seemed to come from having low K thus with normal Ca, my ratio is towards too much Ca, and thus the body wants to not increase Ca.
So testing vitD has to go at the same time as testing hair, and know our mineral status.

Raven, how are your calcium ratios? And your Ca itself?

I take 10,000iu every 3 days and I find I have a better sense of overall wellbeing, and noticed if I stop. The type of supplement seems to matter though, I take a brand called biophix and really rate that one

Before and during taking vit D3 always do blood work and make sure that your calcium in the blood is not sky high. Btw don't take D3 without vit K2. Mk7 like 150-200 mcg is ok..

Hi, I wanted to post my post from spfs...

Generally said: you can take high dosed Vit.d3 from 20000 - 500000 a day as long as you intake K2 and Magnesium in order to have a correct pathway of ca. Why?
Calcium and Vit.d: Vit.d helps absorbing calcium in a certain path. (there are tell paths) But! in order to absorb properly and control the calcium regulation, Osteocalcin and the Matrix-GLA-Protein are I volved. Those are best controlled a d regulated by Vit.k2. That's it. So, supply in any case with K2. Don't worry, check your ca. Levels before, while and after the big supplementation.

Hi, yeah. This diagram unfortunately doesn't say the truth. I give you some info:
Check first your levels. Optimum is a bit over 100. Not good from 150 ng above.
Supplementing for several weeks up to 500 000 I.u. no problem as long as you don't get to 150ng.
Don't supplement with calcium. Not at all.
Take it with some fat.
The toxic myth: 1. it is toxic when your level is from 300ng above.
Vit.d is not toxic once again, it was an ingredient in a study that caused toxicity.
There is a guy who took 2000000 I.u. a day for two months! Not died, just thirsty, tired.
Protokoll: check your recent d-level. Then start at 50000/100000 for several days and check your level again.
Go on like that. No ca, but K2. Take vit.d several times a day in portions of 20000-50000.
Below you see some links...have fun...I took 200000 for several weeks on fin: Libido, mood, sleep...

There is even a link on researchgate where it says high dosed melatonin reverse male pattern baldness. I know some studies re high dosed Mela (up to 75mg) and Treatment of cancer (Italian study). Have fun...

Why would I get fatigued from vitamin d supplementation? Any idea?

Vitamin D drains potassium, so it could be lowering thyroid

Raises calcium, opposes potassium (and other cations), and therefore slows metabolism.

Its in my balancing stack from Wilson around 5000IU daily. Would you say this is something I may want to stop at some point to see if energy raises for me? @mattyb

I am feeling pretty sluggish- I know there is a lot of herxheimer reaction at play right now- used a little bit of colloidal silver the other day along with a probiotic enema that night. I have seen my body do a better job with toxins than I currently am.

I have no idea what you are all taking and doing to yourself at the moment, so I can't really say. I doubt 5000IU daily for a few weeks would noticeably impact energy levels. Maybe if taken for months, or at much higher doses.

 

[noprop]

I experienced effects on 40-50000 a day, taken twice 25 000 a day, in the morning and at noon. Together with K2 / Magnesium.
Herxheimer on chlorella: people take enough to mobilise h.metals but too little to absorb and get out oft the body.
Maybe, we have kindda the same situation.
