Where is your Vit D level? Have you had 1,25 D?

All I know is that my primary doctor, my gyno and my hormone doctor

all said to take more Vit D because I'm severely deficient. They

prescribe things without knowing or checking into the repercussions

which is why I don't believe in taking all these stupid vitamins in

the first place!

I am a pretty big fan of Vitamin D and if you plug that into Pub Med there are a

ton of

studies on it. I think Vitamin D is an immune system regulator. I agree that

super large

amounts probably are not great but the body makes 10,000 IU from just sitting

out in the

sun. My whole family has been tested (25OHD) and were very low. I just got my

results

back and I am at 90 so I will probably cut back a small amount. I was taking

5800 IU per

day and would tan about 8 min once a week. I can not tell you the difference it

has made

and basically my ovaries are working quite well because of it. On the whole I

think most

people are quite deficient. I saw an endo in NYC that specializes in Vit

D/calcium and has

done a couple of NIH studies and I feel very comfortable keeping those levels at

about 75-

85.
