Guest guest Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I think Vit D suppliments are underutilized and that most of the time the dose is too low. Before my transplant I took 50,000 u/day to get my level above 40. I think getting to a level of 50 is a reasonable goal. With poor bile flow the absorption is poor. Toxicity is rare and levels and calcium can be monitored Von > > ...

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Von, What did you use to get such high daily intake? The largest vitamin D tablet I've seen is 1000 IU in bottles of 100 - 50,000 IU/day would take half a bottle a day! Tim R > ... Before my transplant I took 50,000 u/day to get > my level above 40.

It's 2000 IU per drop, and there are 1100 drops per bottle! It was recommended to her by a doctor who was the speaker at a medical conference she went to. The vitamin D is in olive oil, and tastes good (if you like olive oil!)

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 It comes in prescription form of 50K/pill. Of course with doses this high you would want to monitor vitD-25 levels and calcium levels. I went from a level of 7 to finally in the 50s Von Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
