Vitamin D (25-OH) level is 20.9 ng/ml. Should I start supplementing 60k UI D3 per week for next 8 weeks?

@suamaytinh5s Any supplement with 10K daily dosage would you recommend?

Also, since my vitd isn't that low, would 2k or 5k daily dosage would do?

 

[suamaytinh5s]

@slimshaky As long as its Cholecalciferol form. Take any. I take Carbamide Forte 10K from Amazon.

There is no harm in taking higher dose. You can safely take it upto a year without worry.

Let me share some something. Vit D3 is very difficult to get at optimal level. Even with higher doses and all supporting supplments. It takes years to reach optimal level. You can switch to 5K after your levels comeback in higher range.

But if you want to do 2K-5K, thats fine.

Carbamide Forte

Someone was saying on this sub that this brand has failed lab tests by a big margin. You might wanna consider that

@suamaytinh5s Just checked, the half life of cholecalciferol is 50 days. Anything that I am missing?

@slimshaky The parent compound of D3 has half life of one day.

Daily dose is better for raising serum levels.

@suamaytinh5s Thanks, I'll go through these

 

[slimshaky]

@suamaytinh5s Both of these links point to the same article, was it intended?

 

[suamaytinh5s]

@slimshaky Nah sorry I lost the other link. Can't find exactly which one I referred to. But you will find lot if you search daily dosing Vit D3. Example this one -https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6374573/

Supplement with Magnesium

Magnesium Glycinate is fine?

 

[suamaytinh5s]

@slimshaky Yeah Glycinate has good abosorbtion. Will also help with sleep.
