The Vitamin D thing

[aggieterpkatie]

Last night I finally got some vit D3 pills (5,000 iu). I also got a fish oil supplement. How much should I start taking? Just start at one a day? Or two a day? I know my levels were low when I had bloodwork last year, but I haven't had my levels checked since then. It's such a PITA to go to the doc, then go to the lab.

If it were me and I knew I was low, I would take 2 5000 iu/day. You use around 4000 iu/day but you are already in the hole and need to refill your reserves.

Thanks Wifezilla. I took one this morning along with a fish oil. BTW, the fish oil HURT!! My poor esophagus. Darn horse pills....
