I am taking 1 50,000 vitamin D3 a day along with Vitamin K. It raised my D level to 30 from 22, but still WAY below normal. Should I take more Vit D and also add Calcium? Do I need a specific type of calcium?  (For vitamin D, I know I have to have D3 and municible, not gels).

I was taking 150k of D3 during the day and my D was going down.  I started taking it in the middle of the night when I got up due to my tiny weenie bladder.  I was able to bring it up in 3 month from 62 to 114.  I've dropped back to 1/day.  It started  to drop again, so I'm adding in 1 or 2 extra per week.  I'm also taking calcium 6x/day.  Which it also helped to bring my PTH down to 22.
