Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Hi Lance, I was taking 2 teaspoons of Carlson's a day with meals, and when I took VitD3 it was in tablets-1000-2000iu's a day (with little results). So the fish oil is certainly better absorbed!

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Hi, My new GP tested my vit d and B12 levels and they were both low. He started me on vit B12 sublingual, I had actually taken that for years but stopped taking it when I began to feel better. He told me to take 1000 units of d- I was still low so he retested. I am currently taking 5000 units of Vit D- not sure where it is going but I seem to need it to get my level to a " normal " level. The aspergillus group from the UK is currently asking members about their vit d levels- there seems to be a correlation between vit d levels and asthma. My oldest son was tested and he was low also- he is currently taking 1000 units. He has never been diagnosed with asthma but mold seems to bother him too.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 I'm so glad you all are sharing about vitamin D. I've been deficient twice and it certainly complicates the picture with any chronic illness but I had no idea about research into its effect on fungi. I think I may be deificient again--strange or stupid as it sounds, I ran out of drops and forgot to refill. I am seeing doc tomorrow for another blood test.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Hi Yes if you are deficient you should take supplements. Doc told me it affects your immune system.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 There's a company that offers vitamin D at a whopping 50,000 units per capsule to conveniently get deficiencies up to normal fast. They seem like quite nice folks to deal with: " bio-tech pharmacal " . Bob Heavenly Heat Saunas > > I'm so glad you all are sharing about vitamin D.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Woah...50,000 as a one time thing, right? Any more capsules than that will likely result in an overdose, which is dangerous...I overdosed when the pharmacy gave me a daily dose of 16,000 rather than a weekly dose.
